Media Monitoring Blog for February 2006

The Three Weeks of Action on Gender and the Mediablogs2006 are now closed, however they are accessible as “read-only” and we hope will give you added flavour on the activities that were taking place during the first ever global media justice campaign

From 16th February 2006, The Who Makes the News? Three Weeks of Global Action on Gender and the Media will kick off and activists around the world will be checking their news media throughout the three weeks and reporting regularly on the good, the bad and the ugly regarding the representation of women and men in the news media. We invite you to join this global community by checking out your own media and share with us all anything that catches your attention. It can be as simple as picking up on an article or a picture that you liked/disliked/inspired you and share it with us, to a more in-depth monitoring effort (see Quantitative and Qualitative Monitoring on the WACC Gender and the News Media Advocacy Toolkit, page 41-42) or see the more extensive GMMP media monitoring methodology. So start blogging!
