We are inviting applications from mid-career journalists to join a new capacity-building initiative aimed at strengthening media integrity and promoting factual, responsible journalism in Uganda.

Thomson Foundation will select ten journalists to take part in a Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop in Kampala in November 2025.

Participants will develop advanced skills in verification, digital fact-checking, and practical training techniques to help them share these skills within their own newsrooms and professional networks.

Those selected will become part of a national network of Fact-Checking Ambassadors, leading peer-to-peer training cycles, contributing to newsroom verification protocols, and promoting a stronger culture of accuracy and accountability across Ugandan media.
