Title: The rise and rise of The monitor
First published: 2007
Description: The Rise and Rise of The Monitor provides historical insights about the relationship between the media and politics – from the first newspaper published by missionaries in the 19th century to 1999 in the 20th century, a year when the Nation Media Group owned by His Highness the Aga Khan stretched its long tentacles into Ugandan by gaining a controlling stake in the Monitor Publications Ltd.
The Rise and Rise of The Monitor explores The Monitor’s love-hate relationship with the NRA/NRM government of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
