Not sure if lobbyists made an appearance in this story, but we do have the other food groups: "President of the Global Campaign for Education (GCE), Camilla Croso..." Her bio literally has NGO in it four times: http://www.campaignforeducation.org/en/about-us/our-board http://www.campaignforeducation.org/en/about-us/our-board "Director of Education Standards for the Ministry, Huzaifa Mutazindwa", chief bureaucrat: http://www.education.go.ug/data/smenu/47/About%20the%20Ministry%20.html http://www.education.go.ug/data/smenu/47/About%20the%20Minis... "Salima Namusobya, the Executive Director for the Initiative for Society and Economic Rights (ISER)..." Another NGO: http://iser-uganda.org/index.php/salima-namusobya.html http://iser-uganda.org/index.php/salima-namusobya.html If blindly re-publishing the words of spokespersons without any first-hand verification of their claims counts as reasonable reporting, then yes, very reasonable! People who watch these talking-heads shows on cable would probably even back you up on that. My feeling is that if a court or an education ministry is shutting down a school for being "unsanitary and unqualified," those are easy enough things to verify. They could do a surprise visit, take pictures, ask students a few questions, you know, like journalists did not so long ago.
