Samenvatting

This study examines the intersection of media, politics, and public discourse in Uganda, tracing historical trajectories from colonial print cultures to contemporary digital activism. It adopts a qualitative approach grounded in mediatization theories, arguing that Uganda’s media system operates as a field of negotiated hegemony where power and resistance coexist. Across twelve chapters, the book explores print, broadcast, digital, religious, and gendered mediations of political life, revealing how communication practices construct, sustain, and challenge state authority. The findings underscore that media in Uganda is not merely a reflection of society but a central arena where citizenship, identity, and legitimacy are continually performed and contested.
