News, news, news \\u2013 we love it here on Africa Daily. We like to chat about what\\u2019s happening where, to whom, why\\u2026.

Another man who lives and breathes the news it is Patrick Gathara. He\\u2019s a man of many talents \\u2013 drawing political cartoons, but also writing editorials for international outlets like the Washington Post and Al Jazeera as well as curating the news website \\u2018The Elephant\\u2019 in his home country of Kenya.

He\\u2019s also a big user of Twitter \\u2013 posting some of the longest running threads in order to challenge the language and choices of the mainstream media houses.

Victoria Uwonkunda sat down to talk to him about how he\\u2019s trying to change the narrative\\u2026 one tweet at a time.
