This particular aspect is premised on the notion that the media can break or make a society’s perceptions based on what it reports.  Occasionally, the media also plays a role in reinforcing prejudices, as they are at times more interested in sensational news than reasonable productive news. There is need to deliberate as to how the potential of media can be tapped in maintaining public order rather than being a catalyst in the ensuing violence and disorder as has been accused by the Uganda Police Force.

It is thus vital that even during the demonstrations (peaceful or/and violent), the media remains objective in its reporting so as to inform the public, criticize it where need be (public), call for reforms where lacking (within the Police as regards public order management) and remain a neutral, impartial reporter other than taking sides as has been accused in the past by the Police.  Both entities have to be enlightened on the working policies of each.  These trainings and dialogues shall target different media outlets including radio, television, newspapers, and magazines among others inclusive of representatives from the Police-public relations department.
