TrueWire is a real-time Kenya news platform built to deliver breaking stories faster than anyone else — verified, rewritten, and published in plain language that every Kenyan understands.
Kenya deserves a news platform that is fast, honest, and accessible. Too many Kenyan news sites are slow, cluttered with ads, and hard to navigate. TrueWire was built to fix that.
We aggregate breaking news from Kenya's top sources, rewrite stories in TrueWire's clear voice, and publish them on a clean platform — updated every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day.
TrueWire believes every Kenyan is a journalist. If you witness something newsworthy — a scandal, a crime, a government failure — submit it to our newsroom. We verify and publish tips that serve the public interest.
Your identity is always protected. We never reveal sources.
TrueWire uses artificial intelligence to monitor over 70 Kenyan and international news sources simultaneously, classify stories by category, and rewrite them in TrueWire's voice — all automatically, every 10 minutes.
This allows a small team to deliver the volume and speed of a large newsroom.
TrueWire is built and run by a passionate team of Kenyan journalists, editors, and technology specialists based in Nairobi. We come from backgrounds in media, data science, and digital publishing — united by one goal: giving every Kenyan access to fast, reliable news.
Our editorial desk operates around the clock. Every story is reviewed for accuracy before publication. We use AI-assisted tools to monitor over 70 sources simultaneously, but every editorial decision is made by humans who understand Kenya.
TrueWire is proudly Kenyan — independently owned, politically neutral, and accountable only to our readers. We have no government funding and no political affiliations. Our revenue comes from advertising and reader support.
Speed — We publish breaking news within minutes, not hours. Kenyans deserve to know what is happening as it happens.
Accuracy — We verify before we publish. Speed never comes at the cost of truth.
Accessibility — We write in plain, clear English that every Kenyan understands — no jargon, no insider language.
Independence — We answer to no politician, no advertiser, and no political party. Our editorial line is determined by what matters to Kenyans.
