Esther Wangui Kiragu is a writer at Radio.co.ke and a communications professional with more than eight years of experience shaping media narratives in Kenya and across East Africa. Her career has spanned newsrooms, NGO communications teams, and digital media organisations, giving her a broad view of how audio journalism drives change at a community level — from national broadcaster KBC to the smallest licensed community station in rural Kenya.

At Radio.co.ke, Esther writes on radio station history and culture, media regulation and policy, gender representation in broadcasting, and the role of community and public-interest radio in Kenyan society. She's also drawn to the technical side of the medium — how streaming quality and CDN configurations shape the listening experience for diaspora audiences — and to radio's role in climate and environmental communication. Her writing is grounded in the conviction that audio journalism is Kenya's most democratic medium, reaching audiences that print and digital platforms often miss.
