Jimmy Ochieng studies how news media in Kenya cover politics, with particular attention to which politicians and issues get visibility in newspapers. Much of the work examines media framing of devolution (Kenya's system of transferring power to county governments) and how coverage differs across political figures, including women legislators. The research draws on media studies and political communication to understand how press attention shapes public affairs.
