In 1981, at the 30th general assembly of the International Press Institute, the Aga Khan called for higher press standards. He listed responsible leadership, exchange of managerial, editor technical know-how and editorial expertise as ways to enhance the quality of journalism. This idea was realized at Nation through a deal with Florida-based St Petersberg Times, a partnership that provided for the exchange of staffers and information to improve the Group’s standards to a global standard.</p> <p>In 1985, the Daily Nation marked its 25th birthday with a 102-page giveaway and 86 scholarships to high school students. The decade was however not without its challenges with Nation reporters being banned from the Press gallery and Parliament banning the group’s papers.
