Best Practices in Journalism for Reporting on Gender Issues: A Training Manual for Journalists
The training manual, titled “Best Practices in Journalism for Reporting on Gender Issues,” is developed to equip journalists with insights into the attitudes, prejudices, biases, and socialization processes that contribute to the disparity between women’s and men’s voices in media. It enables journalists to recognize and analyze this imbalance critically and provides practical guidance on gender-sensitive reporting, emphasizing the use of appropriate language and contextual framing to create news stories that are sensitive to gender issues. The publication serves as a crucial resource for media development organizations engaged in training journalists on gender-neutral and sensitive reporting practices.
To ensure the sustainability of the project’s impact, the training manuals have been widely disseminated among universities, press clubs, media houses, and media networks. This dissemination aims to support ongoing training initiatives beyond the project’s initial phases, promoting a lasting culture of gender-sensitive journalism within the media industry.
