Welcome to our blog on Gender and the Media
A warm hello to all our journalist friends who are tuning into this blog! As quick introduction, the Stanhope Centre for Communications Research is starting this online endeavor to promote and provoke discussion on the theme of Gender and the Media, with particular focus on issues journalists face in the newsroom.
This project is run in conjunction with WACC's 'Who Makes the News?' campaign which aims to promote gender equality in the media. The campaign is endorsed by both the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
Gender and the Media is an open access blog so members of the public can comment on what our contributors write. All contributors are journalists from various countries and backgrounds, covering print, radio and television media.
For any questions relating to this blog or the Stanhope Centre, please contact me.
Kind regards,
Alicia Altorfer-Ong

Hi Esther, can you tell us something about the IFJ gender guidelines?

Hullo stefania sorry for the late reply but we are a bit busy here in Uganda because of the election. The IFJ gender guidelines i think can be found at the IFJ website -www.ifj.org- Gender issues section.
