Do these women have the spine for harsh criticism or they are simply easy targets for bullies within parliament, social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and TikTok? What have they done to cope with the criticism, bullying or unflattering light?
The Observer Team on December 12, 2016 wrote about Namuganza-Nantaba’s “ugly quarrel” in the story titled “Ministers in ugly quarrel”. The publication gave space to both females to accuse and counter accuse each other, creating the image of two women who cannot stand each other.
The study also realized a gender selective reporting where there is a relationship between the sex of the reporter and the proportion of female and male news subjects appearing in print news stories. Female reporters covered more female news subjects and quoted more females in their stories as opposed to the male reporters. In equal measure, male journalists gave more audience to male sources but also within talk shows of purely male presentation, women suffered a low engagement under similar likelihood.
