In Uganda men have dominated the sports media landscape, representing approximately 75 to 85% of sports journalists, with women making up only 15 to 25%.

One final-year student explained, “I have to wait until late at night for cheaper data bundles, but by then I am too tired to concentrate on the recorded lectures.

In the USA, such data is collected on an ongoing basis with the next large census to be conducted in 2030. At that time, residents of the United States and its five territories will be counted, marking the country’s 25th population count since 1790. The process involves sending out questionnaires to every household, which they can fill out online, by mail or by phone. The United States Census Bureau also employs door-to-door visits to ensure an accurate count, especially in hard-to-reach or undercounted communities. The data collected is used to determine representation in Congress and allocate federal funding, among other purposes.
