Honoring Uganda's Journalists on World Press Freedom Day

To my Ugandan journalism colleagues: You have the hardest job anywhere, and I respect you and admire how you overcome Uganda's many obstacles--political ownership of media, paranoid RDC's (local officials), not to mention threats and intimidation. Now with the political/economic unrest, add into that mix very real concerns about the personal safety of journalists, and you have an environment for reporters that must be among the most difficult in the world. Thank you, Ugandan journalists, and stay safe.

  1. Steve,
    Thank you so much for the encouraging words above all the care and love you've shown us.

    For us journalists, the situation in Uganda is really tough in all sense of the word.
