Read news in the star newspaper online now. The Star Newspaper is formerly known as Nairobi Star and enjoys a considerable readership and coverage in Kenya, especially in Nairobi and other urban areas.

The star started as a Nairobi only newspaper, then known as Nairobi star which it outgrew to become the current nationwide news media under the name the star.


But who owns the star? It has come to my knowledge that the star is owned together with Kiss 100 Radio, Classic 105 Radio, Kiss and classic TV stations. If it is in your knowledge, share the info with us, as to who owns the star newspaper as well as this huge conglomeration of media houses.

Where to buy the star newspaper? or are you asking for the price of the star? if you are in the major towns and cities, you will easily find your copy of the newspaper on a street corner. for some smaller town, I'm not sure that their distribution can find you..?

The star print newspaper raised its price recently to Ksh 50 per copy so you buy it now at the same price as the bigger newspapers like Daily Nation, and The Standard Newspapers.

The star uses their tagline Fresh, Independent, Different. Do you belief that they match up?
