On January 16, the Business Daily published an article titled ‘‘Global research misrepresents Kenyans’’ by Margaretta wa Gacheru. The article claimed that The Theatre Times (TTT) had ‘‘made a wild allegation’’ by stating that the three top-searched musicals by Kenyans online were ‘‘High School Musical’’, ‘‘The Lion King’’ and ‘‘Hamilton.’’
She was referring to an article I authored, titled ‘Top-Searched Musicals in Africa’. Ironically, her article on ‘misrepresentation’ itself misrepresented its source material. TTT did not make any allegation, wild or otherwise. The statistics were released in November 2019 by TicketSource, an events-related company.
