The ability for users to save articles to “read it later' will be transformative. Through Pocket, we are empowering people to discover, organize, consume, and share content that matters to them.

“We believe in an internet that puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience, are empowered, safe, and independent. Matt Koidin, Pocket Vice President and General Manager Mozilla, said their mission is to ensure that the internet becomes a global public resource, open and accessible to all.

“For the first time, we have a series of collections from outstanding Kenyan curators who bring fresh perspectives from Kenya and East Africa, targeting mostly under 34 who are voracious readers and consume a lot of content from the internet.' The partnership will also ensure that local content is curated and distributed to better optimize the product and meet the needs of Kenyan online users,' said Dr Njoki Chege, Director at MiC.

“We have partnered with Mozilla to identify and work with a team of curators who have put together fascinating and exceptional content from East Africa. The popular read-it-later bookmarking service has client apps on the iPhone, iPad, and even the Mac including both a browser extension and a dedicated reader app. Pocket, a mobile application built on the Android and iOS platforms, allows users to access written and visual content of their liking and even save it for offline browsing later. T he Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications' Media Innovation Center (MiC) has partnered with Mozilla Corporation to launch Pocket in East Africa.
