Uganda 2.9 Government promotes a political and economic environment, which allows for a diverse media landscape. ANALYSIS: Media legislation in its entirety suggests that government is not seeking to promote a favourable environment for the media. Since 1995, a number of pieces of legislation like the Press and Journalist Statute, 1995, the Electronic Media Statute, the Anti Terrorism Act 2002, Sections within the Presidential Elections Act 2005, the Parliamentary Elections Act 2005, have been passed which, in addition to sections of the Penal Code like sedition, are all geared towards control instead of the promotion of a diverse media landscape. Proposals to introduce tax incentives for newspapers or to deliver them without charge through the Post Office have been rejected. SCORES: Individual scores: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 Average: 1.8 2.10 Private media outlets operate as efficient and professional businesses. ANALYSIS: The Daily Monitor, The Weekly Observer, Red Pepper and other private print media continue to survive - an indication that they are run efficiently and professionally. Broadcasting media, however, often lack clear structures and policies and many are run as family businesses. Some of them charge different rates for advertisements during election campaigns according to their political leanings; others have no rate chart at all. African Media Barometer - Uganda 2007 17
