The situation in Kenya...

...appears to deteriorate.

Here are additional details about the media and the job they are trying to do in this unsettled environment.

There are important teaching lessons available to those of us in education, as we look at the crises in Kenya and Pakistan. We could consider, for example:

1. Identifying the amount of media freedom in each country; and
2. Compare media coverage of domestic news organizations to that of international news companies;
3. Review which sources help to frame this coverage (recognizing that the U.S. will have a vested interest in how both events turn out).
