Abstract
The coverage of political activities in Uganda has undergone several challenges. There
was a major point in the politics of Uganda when Amin was the ruler for 8 years (1 971 *
1979). This period saw the political process collapse. Amin’s regime used fear and terror
as central instruments of policy and media control. A large number of journalists and
politicians lost their lives. It is sad to note that even today there are situations where
journalists who have given chance to the opposition to air out their views have been
arrested.
This brings us to the fact that there is need to put in place independent regulatory
frameworks to promote the growth of a strong, free and diverse broadcasting sector that
serves the public interest.
