OJ Uganda
Online/Digital
We created OJ-UGANDA for educated, middle-class Ugandans who want trusted, high-quality information. Our reader is that woman or man who gets to see something attention-grabbing on social media—maybe a shooting of a public figure—and tries (before sharing) to verify by checking trusted news websites. Such a person is obviously a serious reader, someone who cares about credible information, about the truth. We are targeting that woman or man who gets to see, for example, a 700-word article at work and saves it on an application like Pocket so they can read it during their free time. In a nutshell, the reader we have in mind is someone who enjoys reading and values value-added information.
We cater to readers who are interested not only in politics but also in social and economic matters. Our website offers a diverse range of content categories we are confident will appeal to discerning readers. To learn more, click here. Whether you are a student, a young professional, middle-aged or even a supercentenarian, there is something for you. Just explore our navigation menu and discover what piques your interest Source
