Uganda Needs Analytical Journalism to Reach AIDS Goal

The Working in Solidarity with Vulnerable Communities Project, supported by UNAIDS and the Embassy of Sweden, asserts that analytical journalism plays a vital role in Uganda’s effort to end AIDS by 2030. The project highlights journalism’s potential to move beyond simply reporting events to fostering discussions and developing media tools that address underlying issues.

The initiative emphasizes the importance of counter-narratives in the fight against the disease. It suggests that journalism can contribute to a broader goal of improving human wellbeing.

The project recognizes journalism has a broad mandate extending beyond breaking news. Success in ending AIDS in Uganda depends on the approach to journalism’s roles and expectations.
