TV journalist crowned king of traditional monarchy in Uganda
Original: A TV journalist is crowned king of a traditional monarchy in Uganda
A television journalist in Uganda has been crowned king of a traditional monarchy, a role that exists alongside the country's modern political system. Traditional kingdoms in Uganda, such as Buganda, Busoga and Tooro, hold cultural rather than executive power, so the crowning of a working journalist has drawn attention both in Uganda and internationally.
Why now: The unusual transition from newsroom to royal throne is a striking human-interest story that has circulated widely in news coverage.
