The Spotlight, launched on April 23 2008, is a non-commercial blog set up to provide news, views and events from Uganda, with a focus on Northern Uganda. It is a product of concerted efforts by journalists from Northern Uganda and the United Kingdom. The blog originated from Lango Web.
It also provides an opportunity for young Ugandan journalists especially from the war-ravaged North to get their stories published. All contributors to the site – reporters and editor/webmaster are volunteers.

Thank you for this blog! I am an American muzungu that has been to northern Uganda several times to visit my Acholi friends.
I have done some short videos about my visits to the north. Here are the links:

Dear All,
Thank you for establishing this website which is, no doubt, a very useful forum for journalists in north and North Eastern Uganda to share what happens here with the outside world. I got this web address when I visited Adungu website which is part of a project I helped to initiate decided to visit your website on seeing your address. Thanks for your noble contribution and keep up!
Akena
