SECTOR 4 4.10 Journalists and other media practitioners are organised in trade unions and/or professional associations. Analysis: There are a number of media associations (at one point they numbered 56) and one trade union, the Uganda Journalists’ Union. In every region there is a press club. At national level, there are the Eastern Africa Media Institute-Uganda, Uganda Journalists Association, Uganda Journalists Union, Human Rights Network for Journalists, Uganda Media Women’s Association, and many others. All these organisations exist but are journalists really organised in them? Do they pay membership fees? Are they active in them? The answer is: not quite. And the panel was fairly divided in its judgement. Scores: Individual scores: * 70 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator. 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: 2.4 (2007: 2.8) Average score for sector 4: 2.4 (2007: 2.5)* OVERALL COUNTRY SCORE: 2.3 (2007: 2.3) For 2009 the indicators were reviewed, amended and some new indicators such as those addressing Information Communication Technology (ICT) were added. Consequently, the comparison of some indicators of the 2005 and 2007 report is not applicable (n/a) in some instances in which the indicator is new or has been amended. Evidently, this has to be taken into account too, when the overall sector scores are compared. AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER UGANDA 2010
