This research aims to investigate editorial autonomy concerning the selection and publication of environmental issues in the Kenyan print media. A review of existing literature indicates that insufficient research has been conducted to comprehensively analyze the factors influencing the selection and publication of environmental issues in the Kenyan print media. Therefore, this study has a singular objective: to scrutinize editorial autonomy in relation to the selection and publication of environmental issues. The study was guided by a key research question: To what extent does editorial autonomy impact the selection and publication of environmental issues? Utilizing a qualitative research method and a case study research design, the study employed purposive sampling, with a sample size of twenty-six editors. Data collection involved intensive in-depth interviews, and data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the editorial autonomy of the Kenyan print media is compromised by external influences such as political players, corporate interests, and advertising agencies. The study concludes that the Kenyan print media has limited editorial autonomy. The study recommends the need to strengthen editorial autonomy through the establishment of robust policies. Additionally, further studies are needed to determine the full extent of the implications of external forces on media and journalistic integrity. The present investigation was anchored in the framing media theory.
