The researcher took time on the background of study to lay a foundation of the research. Statement of the problem acted like a backbone the entire study by critically showing the challenges on the ground. The Objectives followed, which were both general and specific, the researcher highlighted the benefits of doing this research. The scope of the study was well explained. Chapter two was a tentative research done by the researcher whereby he relied on the works of other Scholars. The study employed descriptive survey design which was used to discover casual relationships between the two variables. Slovene’s formula was used to arrive at the sample size. To ensure validity of instruments, content validity index was used and reliability of the instrument was established by corn-bachs coefficient alpha variable. Data gathering procedure before and after administration of questionnaires was followed to the letter. Data presentation, analysis and interpretation was tabulated, this included the analysis of demographic characteristics of respondents, the IV (Freedom of expression) and DV ( Print Media ) whose summary was done in terms of mean. The researcher found out violent and intimidating ways were not supposed to be used as a viable option and he did recommends diplomatic ways of solving problems to be used, ie dialogue. ix CHAPTER ONE 1.1 Background Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democratic rights and freedoms. In its very first session in 1946, before any human rights declarations or treaties had been adopted, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 59 (I) stating “Freedom of information is a fundamental human right and the touchstone of all the freedoms to which the United Nations is consecrated~’T Freedom of expression is essential in enabling democracy to work and public participation in decision-making. Citizens cannot exercise their right to vote effectively or take part in public decision-making if they do not have free access to information and ideas and are not able to express their views freely. The freedom of expression is a pivotal component of our individual development as human beings and as “political animals” and to mprove and radicalize democracies. The invention of the press therefore constitutes the turning point for the debates about freedom of expression. Guaranteeing each individualTs right to freely seek, receive or impart information while interacting with other individuals ceased to be enough. It was necessary to go beyond, upholding this right allied by an intermediary that radically magnified the outreach of opinions, information and ideas like the mass media. Under this perspective, many foundational pillars of the contemporary debate on human rights (the Glorious, American and French Revolutions; the writings of John Milton, Alexis of Tocqueville and John Stuart Mill, among others) dedicated substantial attention to freedom of expression and its links to the mass media. The idea of a free, independent, plural, and diversified media has become the ideal to be achieved in order to fully ensure the right to seek, receive and impart information. Finding the appropriate format for State participation in 1 this equation of fostering media systems endowed with these characteristics have quickly constituted one of the most relevant pieces of the puzzle. This challenge became particularly complex when broadcasting took over the system’s leading role in the beginning of the 20th Century. The possible hypothesis that each legitimate Interest from the different social groups might have been voiced In their own newspapers did not prove to be true In relation to television and radio. The electromagnetic spectrum Is a finite public resource and needs to be regulated, at least as far as frequencies are concerned. Therefore, media regulation started Its development hand In hand with guaranteeing, promoting and protecting freedom of expression. In fact, the ultimate goal for regulating media should be to protect and deepen this fundamental right For this reason, the most important International Instruments on human rights (the United Nations Charter; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Covenant on CMI and Political Rights; the Conventions on the Rights of the Child, on the Protection and Promotion of Diversity and Cultural Expressions, on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and on the Rights of Persons wIth Disabilities) address to the matter in different perspectives. The same holds true for regional human rights instruments and for legal Instruments of the world’s most consolidated and long fought democracies. The Media In Uganda has been transformed with the ever changing political and economic landscape & the nation, and since the liberaiization of the media in the early 1990s, the number of print and broadcast media outiets has rapidly increased. However, prior to media 2 liberalization, Uganda experienced limited access to independent, privately-owned media outlets. Today, while freedom of expression is enshrined in the 1995 Constitution, it is still subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions as well as regular government sanctioned attacks and interference. In 2006, Reporters without Borders ranked Uganda 116 out of 168 in its Annual Press Freedom Index. The 2006 ranking represents a sharp drop from the previous year when Uganda was ranked 80th. Similarly, Freedom House, in its 2007 Annual report on Press freedom ranked Uganda 116th out of 169 countries, a drop from 111th in 2006. While once heralded as one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s freest countries for the press, Uganda has dropped in the ranks over the past couple of years following the enactment of the anti-terrorism legislation and the tightening of controls on the media, especially in the run up to the 2006 General elections.

  • How Can Uganda Benefit from China's Economic Rise?
    Policy note 43608 | August 2017 David Dollar, Akura Mugyenyi, and Nicole Ntungire How can Uganda benefit from China’s economic rise? In brief • Uganda’s growth trajectory has been strongly This project was funded supported by increased economic engagement with by IGC Uganda China, particularly through commodity exports and infrastructure funding. • This policy note delves deeper into China’s growing economic links with Uganda by collating evidence on China’s trade, investment and migration patterns and discusses how countries like Uganda can harness these links. • The authors suggest that the Sino-Africa relationship holds many potential long term benefits, such as: (i) the relocation of manufacturing value chains from China to countries with an abundant supply of labour, (ii) access to alternative forms of development financing that centre on formerly under-financed sectors such as infrastructure and energy, and (iii) increased trade and FDI. • However for these benefits to be realised, Uganda must put in place the right policies and incentives that will create an attractive climate for potential investment and ensure a mutually beneficial path to industrialisation and structural transformation. Ideas for growth www.theigc.org Barring a recent slowdown, Uganda has achieved robust economic growth over the past decade; with positive per capita GDP and a higher average growth rate than that for sub-Saharan Africa (Figure 1). Whilst, this positive economic performance is mostly attributed to domestic factors such as sound macroeconomic policies and strengthened institutions, Uganda’s growth trajectory has also been strongly supported by increased economic engagement with China (for example, China’s insatiable demand for raw materials which created a global commodity boom, served not only to improve the country’s terms of trade, but also led to higher export volumes - as will be further discussed).
