Maybe I should ask this here.

When was the last time you bought a newspaper. An actual hard copy.

Let’s be honest. The media business isn’t exactly booming. If anything, it’s been on a steady decline, as many people were reminded yesterday after what happened at Sahara Media Group.

So it raises a question. Why would someone like Rostam Aziz, a man many would expect to be investing in mining or other high value sectors, suddenly decide that newspapers are the place to put his money?

At a time when fewer and fewer people are even reading them.

So what exactly is the play here?

Is he really aiming for profits? Or is there another hidden aim behind the curtains?

Interesting part is this.
The National Media group owned Newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations around East Africa countries.
(Tanzania, Kenya , Uganda and Rwanda).

Rostam Brought influence around EA. And may be, he saw the Big picture and wanted to invest more into those countries and may be He need media to push his propaganda.
