Print publications do not have to seek permission to publish; however, in order to be set up, they have to register as a business, NGO, or other legal entity. Print publications also have to register with the Media Council, and in so doing, provide the name and qualifications of the publication’s editor. No known publications have been refused the ability to publish on these grounds. When the Anti-Corruption Coalition sought to publish its Black Monday Newsletter as part of its organisational activities, it was told that it had to seek permission to print, “They said that it was tantamount to being a newspaper, although it was a publication by an organisation. This has impacted how the organisation goes about publishing information.” At one time, government authorities were looking at an annual licencing process, but this never took off. “It was a Bill in the offing that never took off.” Scores: Individual scores: 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: 20 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER UGANDA 2016 3.9 (2012 = 2.0; 2010 = 4.4; 2007 = n/a)
