Welcome to the Dialogue on Media Digital Rights! This is a documentary-style podcast where we take a deep dive into the experiential divide between women and men in media and their experiences online while conducting their work. This project was made possible with the support of the #WomenAtWebUg project under CIPESA and with the Phoenix Risen Empathy Workshop framework.
Podcast Two – Media Coverage and Representation of Women Online in the Media (Empathize!)
We are now in part two of the podcast. In the episodes in this part, we are going to focus on Media Coverage and Representation of Women Online in the Media and try and empathize. According to the largest study by UN Women on the portrayal, participation and representation of women in the news media spanning 20 years and 114 countries, only 24 per cent of the persons heard, read about or seen in newspaper, television and radio news are women and 26 per cent of the people in Internet people in Internet news stories and media news tweets. Only 4 per cent of traditional news and digital news stories clearly challenge gender stereotypes.
This is episode six.
