Raising the Bar with Lessons from CNN & BBC Ahead of #UGVotes2026.

I recently had the privilege of going behind the scenes at CNN and BBC’s London operations—a powerful reminder of what’s possible when technology, talent, and purpose-driven storytelling come together.

From real-time global news delivery to the systems supporting editorial accuracy and speed, I witnessed world-class journalism at work. Even more inspiring were the incredible professionals behind it all—brilliant minds constantly innovating, adapting, and setting the pace for modern media.

This experience was both humbling and energizing. It challenged me to learn, unlearn, and relearn what it means to serve audiences in today’s fast-moving media landscape.

As we prepare for #UGVotes2026, I return home more determined than ever to raise the bar. With our talented team and growing capabilities across Next Media platforms, we’re committed to delivering the most comprehensive, insightful, and impactful election coverage Uganda has ever seen.

The future of journalism in Uganda is bright—and we’re just getting started.
