Women make the News

UNESCO’s appeal for equality in the media – as in all other spheres – is a part of the struggle for genuine democracy in society at large and in media institutions in particular
Despite the history of more then hundred years of journalism, proportional representation of women in journalism is not satisfactory. There is no easy way to measure the advancement of women in journalism. One way of doing it is to count the numbers of women in decision-making positions, another is to figure out the proportion of women and men in the newsrooms, yet another is to count the number of women journalists receiving service awards.

By creating the initiative “Women Make the News” , UNESCO’s Director General, Mr Koichiro Matsuura, emphasizes that the issue of gender equality must remain at the forefront of each society’s agenda and the international community until gender balance is achieved at every level in the workplace.
