Re-defining Local Content
Video Jockeys (VJs, Veejays) are popular in Uganda, and are an integral part in the advancement of television local content. However, the current definition of local content does not recognise the work of VJs, and treats them as a threat to the industry.

Central to the discussion is the concept of participation, which has led to community media parameters changing from being defined in terms of geographical location to citizenship-based media that act as a public sphere where participants go beyond the local co…
