Founded in 2019 by STREAMLINE CONSULTS LTD, MediaScape News is an ‘Impact Journalism’ news outlet in Uganda with a bias on exclusive interviews, history, intelligence briefs, military affairs, eSports, video and photo stories. It is regulated by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC).
MediaScape News sets out to champion a new reporting approach that is more interesting, trustworthy, and uplifting; to inspire people to get involved. We adopt an interviews-only story reporting model for content in order to cover what’s missing in today’s news and how people are responding to problems- from their own perspective.
At the center of this philosophy is a team of dedicated Ugandan multimedia journalists and academicians with a wealth of experience in action research, reporting, editing, strategic communication, media management, digital media marketing, public relations, ghost writing, sales and marketing and multimedia journalism, spanning a period of two decades.
Our Major Categories:
1. Q&A News:
Q&A News– a short form for ‘Question & Answer,’ is our major news category in which we carry stories only sourced through and presented in an interview format. This grants our stories, source participation, immediacy, exclusivity, authenticity, source-ownership and in-depth explanatory reporting. This is a first of its kind reporting that we believe breaks away from the usual clutter of news that comes with activity journalism and the breakneck news speed that has clogged Ugandan journalism.
3. Intelligence Files
This category provides the reader with an in-depth look at the stories behind the stories. From an array of experts and former intelligence personnel, we provide cutting-edge news analysis of events happening openly in Uganda and beyond. Top Secrets provides intelligence briefing on issues the ordinary reader is not able to connect with and make sense of. Write to TopSecrets@mediascapenews.com
