tndNews was founded as The Northern Daily (TND) on 12 September 2012 to operate as a digital newspaper serving Northern Uganda, Uganda, and the globe. In April 2018, the publication changed to “tndNews” with the word “Uganda” sometimes used.
tndNews was founded with a core aim to bridge the gap created by the mainstream media (Newspapers and TVs), many of which were giving, or continue to give much attention to other areas, somewhat leaving Northern Uganda out of the spotlight, with fewer or no stories on their front pages and first five pages.
In 2018, the Great Lakes Centre for Strategic Media Studies (GLCSMS), an independent media organization in Uganda took over the management of the publication with Milton Emmy Akwam, Founder of both entities working as Team Leader.
Since its official launch in April 2018, tndNews has worked with and mentored dozens of journalists, some of whom currently works in big media institutions and companies. The publication is proud to have at least two award winning journalists working with it.
The Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) and other agencies of the Government of Uganda regulate both GLCSMS and tndNews.
