## About

New Vision operates as Uganda's principal state-owned English-language daily, with broadsheet coverage of national politics, economy, sport and lifestyle filed under the country's state media structure. The pace is broadsheet-measured and the register procedural, with copy that closely tracks government framing on contested national topics through Museveni administrations. Its state ownership distinguishes the paper from the independent Daily Monitor and shapes its editorial space.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** State-owned; published by Vision Group
- **Funding:** State funding alongside subscription and advertising revenue
- **Focus areas:** Ugandan politics, economy, sport, lifestyle, regional development; state-owned English daily


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.

## Assessment note

Latest assessment: 2026-05-08. Generated with TOLD Source Prompt Brief v1.2.7. TOLD summarizes framing patterns and third-party classifications; it does not assess factual accuracy, intent, or legitimacy. External classifications: 7 (3 themes).
