The World Association of News Publishers has stepped up for gender equality with its Women in News program. They want real change instead of just talking about breaking barriers for women in media. Their group works across 30 countries and recently released two helpful tools—a Leadership Pledge and a Leadership Mapping Report. These resources show the current problems and offer clear ways to fix them through actual commitments.
Recent numbers from the Leadership Mapping Report reveal that women hold just 24% of top media jobs in both business and editorial roles, a small rise from 22% in 2022. The report goes deeper with specific data for each country, regional patterns, and trends across different media sectors. The Leadership Pledge...

Amos Lugoloobi feels his 40-year reputation took a big hit because people say he stole 600 iron sheets from poor communities in Karamoja. He appeared with Lady Justice Jane Okuo Kajuga for his third straight day. She decided earlier that he must answer charges about dealing with suspect property. He told everyone he gave back the iron sheets after President Yoweri Museveni ordered everyone to return them or pay cash instead. Lugoloobi said he never used some sheets, which made returning them easier.
He felt totally shocked when he learned the sheets given to him and others—including officers, lawmakers, and ministers—were meant for someone else. News stories about him caused him mental stress. Lugoloobi had built his good name since...
Uganda shut down Pearl FM radio yesterday. The station played at 107.9 FM across Kampala until officials pulled the plug. The Uganda Communications Commission stepped in because they claim the station broke broadcasting rules. The shutdown will last as long as needed for a full review.
The trouble came from a show called Mpulidde Kamenya, which aired on March 12. Host Suleiman Kalule talked about voting problems during the Kawempe North election. He said people were stuffing ballots at several places around Kawempe. The message worried local authorities because it might cause trouble among voters just before election day.
UCC leader Thembo Nyombi blamed the station for sharing made-up stories about the election. He claimed Kalule...
