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%.  Aheebwa highlights that sports journalism is “traditionally seen as a male domain” in Uganda, which has limited women’s entry and growth in this field. Female reporters often cover less prominent sports and have fewer opportunities to headline major events or gain editorial leadership roles.

For many university courses, students are expected to engage in internships or have work placements as one requirement for the award of their degree. Pauline Luba of the UCU School of Journalism gleaned information from some key university staff, an employer/alum and two students to learn how students should conduct themselves in the world of work, especially during internships. UCU Law alum, Chris Mogal, created a video to reinforce the message, including how to avoid harrassment.
