Latiff leaves lasting legacy at Standard Media, eyes new challenges at Nation Media Group

Date:

Veteran journalist Eric Latiff has officially joined the Nation Media Group, mere hours after announcing his departure from Standard Media Group, where he served as a pivotal figure in the media landscape.

Latiff’s exit marks the conclusion of a notable tenure that began in August 2019 and was marked by his instrumental role in shaping influential media programs such as *The Situation Room* on Spice FM.

Eric Latiff first joined Standard Media Group in 2019, a period characterized by the growing diversification of Kenya’s media platforms.

Tasked with spearheading a new morning talk show, The Situation Room, Latiff embraced the challenge of creating a platform for intellectual discourse and meaningful dialogue.

Partnering with co-hosts CT Muga, Ndu Okoh, and Njeri Thorne, he nurtured a program that quickly gained traction among diverse audiences.

The four-hour show became renowned as the home of Kenya’s Biggest Conversations, attracting thought leaders, policymakers, and professionals to discuss pressing national and global issues.

Latiff’s success was driven by his ability to merge professional expertise with relatability.

He cultivated a loyal following by addressing the concerns of ordinary Kenyans while engaging with influential voices.

Under his leadership, The Situation Room evolved into a cornerstone of Kenyan morning radio, setting a benchmark for talk shows across the country.

In his farewell message, Latiff reflected on his journey at Standard Media Group with gratitude.

He lauded his colleagues for their unwavering support and applauded the audience for their continued engagement.

“It has been a great journey building The Situation Room to what it has become. I am grateful to everyone who made this possible,” he remarked, underscoring the collaborative effort that contributed to the show’s success.

Latiff’s exit, however, signals not just the end of a chapter but also the beginning of a new journey.

Hours after his departure, he was unveiled as a new addition to the Nation Media Group.

This strategic move places him at the helm of new opportunities, possibly as a key figure in the organization’s broadcast or digital platforms.

While details of his exact role are yet to be disclosed, Latiff’s reputation for innovation and excellence in journalism suggests that he will continue shaping the industry’s future.

With over two decades in media, Latiff’s legacy includes contributions to the establishment of groundbreaking platforms such as Family FM, Kameme FM, and K24.

His dedication to fostering new ventures and meaningful dialogues positions him as a significant player in the Kenyan media landscape.

As Latiff transitions to Nation Media Group, industry stakeholders and audiences alike are eager to see how he will redefine his impact in his new role.
