The Role of Uganda Media in Protection of Women’s Rights in Uganda, a Case Study of New Vision News Paper.
media and women’s rights
It is impossible to ignore the media's importance in defending women's rights. Nonetheless, it is a widely held belief among media experts today that media attention of women's issues is gradually declining. Women are still viewed as dependent, docile people who scarcely participate to socioeconomic development, despite the fact that the study's men-to-women ratio is 49:51. The study's premise is that media portrayals of women's difficulties have not received enough notice, aid, or concern. The study also aims to provide light on the various ways that women are portrayed in the media. According to the figures, 32% strongly agreed, 40% agreed, only 2% were unsure, 23% disagree, and 7% severely disagreed with the assertion regarding rejection of critical journalists. Also, the chart showed that 8% of participants answered and 12% strongly disagreed with the assertion. Due to the New Vision newspaper's extensive distribution throughout Uganda, it was chosen as the media outlet for the case study. The study's results validate its working theory. Most of the news about women was stereotypical, based on beauty and fashion, and defined women mostly in their 'natural' role as mothers and wives, rather than contributors to societal developments. The study generally recommends the media to highlight women's contribution, whether in political, economic or social spheres.

The Socio-Economic Factors That Determine the Yield of Cabbage; a Case Study of Kapyanga Sub-County Bugiri District
Socio economic factors and cabbage yield
The biannual cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata), a green, red, or white plant, is grown as an annual crop for its thickly leafed heads. A cabbage head can weigh anything between 0.5 and 4 kg. During the middle periods, cabbage had likely been domesticated and was a staple of European cuisine. Cabbage crowns are usually captured at the start of the plant's life cycle, while seedlings designed for fertilization are given a further year to grow. Africa's top two cabbage producers are Kenya and Ethiopia, who account for nearly 30% of the continent's overall production (FAOSTAT, 2008). In 2008, Africa produced more than 2 million tons of cabbage, a 20% increase over the previous ten years. The study's goals were to identify the socioeconomic elements that affect cabbage output, to identify the difficulties experienced by cabbage producers, and to evaluate how well they deal with those difficulties. The study used both a subjective and a statistical research methodology because there was enough knowledge about it to permit duplication for reassurance and confirmation. 48 landowners were picked as a sample. research.miu.ac.ug/publications 284 Metropolitan Journal of Social and Educational Research (MJSER) ISSN 1813-4262 (Print) ISSN 1813-4270 (online) Vol. 2 Issue 2, May - 2023, Pages: 211-226 Surveys were used to reach people, and information was then gathered, descriptive statistical processed, and displayed as percentages and frequency values.
