African Media

This week we'll be talking about reporting health stories in South Africa, the urge to pay closer attention to human rights violations in Eritrea, and we'll go to South Sudan, where reporter says he was subjected to torture only a few weeks after he was released from a long and un-justified detention.

Are Ugandans getting decent coverage of the 2016 General Elections? Are the media focusing on the issues that matter to voters? And are journalists free to report on everything? These are some of the issues addressed in this week’s African Media by RFI’s Christina Okello, who travelled to Uganda for an exclusive report.  NB: This report was sponsored by the International Women's Media Foundation as part of its Africa Great Lakes Reporting Initiative.
