Ugandan editor quits

The editor-in-chief of the Ugandan newspaper, The New Vision, has resigned because, she claimed, of editorial interference. Els de Temmerman said she was assured editorial independence when appointed two years ago. "Reluctantly, however, I have concluded that I can no longer count on the assurances I received," she wrote. Days earlier, three other senior managers quit the company that publishes the paper. De Temmerman, who is Belgian, was one month away from finishing her two-year contract. (Via The Monitor)
