As the oldest paper in the country, The Standard has evolved in the more than 100 years of its existence, adjusting constantly to the changing world around it.
During the colonial times the paper remained “a typical European people’s paper concerned with the happenings in Britain and urging subservience to the settlers”, says Absalom Mutere and John Baptist Abuogo in The History of The Press in Kenya.
