Vision Group debuts digital versions for newspapers

By Vision Reporter

VISION Group has launched a digital version that will allow readers enjoy the digital copies of daily, weekly and regional publications anytime, anywhere.

With this new version, readers will be able to access various newspapers on all platforms; web and on mobile devices.

Payment has been made convenient for readers with various options including Mobile Money, Visa and MasterCard especially for users in the diaspora.

The new platform can be accessed here.

Robert Kabushenga, the Vision Group chief executive officer, when revealing the new platform earlier this week said the innovation will enable Ugandans, even those in the diaspora, to access good journalism at an affordable price. 

“We are looking at distributing the newspaper through the Internet for Ugandans with tablets, smartphones and other gadgets. We have developed a payment system that will accept payments through mobile money, and master card for Ugandans in the diaspora,” Kabushenga said.

“We are working on an app that will enable readers to buy the digital version through deductions on their bank account. Using the digital version, you can read the paper in the comfort of your home,” he added.

Kabushenga said though electronic media is growing faster than print media, there is still a market for newspapers that provide analytical and authoritative journalism that is relevant.
