EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, this evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of newspaper advertisers at work outside the African Standard building in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, in 1915. The African Standard was a leading newspaper in British East Africa, providing news and information to the growing European community and African labor force in the region. The advertisers are seen huddled around tables, meticulously placing advertisements in the newspaper. Their intense focus is interrupted only by the occasional glance towards the headlines of the day, which announce momentous events from the war front. Among these headlines, the sinking of the German cruiser Koenigsberg, the fierce battle near Bissil, the bombing of London, and the taking of Przemysl stand out as significant developments in the conflict. The African Standard building, with its imposing facade and grandiose architecture, serves as a symbol of the British colonial presence in East Africa. The men, dressed in suits and hats, represent the European influence and the importance of the press in disseminating news and information during times of war. The advertisers' determined efforts to get their messages to the public underscore the vital role of the media in keeping communities informed and connected, even in the midst of global upheaval. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of Nairobi during the 1910s and the critical role that the African Standard played in shaping the narrative of the war in East Africa.
