Description
The Gender and Media Handbook is an important and much welcomed addition to worldwide efforts to promote gender equality and diversity in and through the media. Written in a lively, engaging and accessible style, it is set to become a "must have" publication for media practitioners, teachers and activists who are committed to effecting change toward gender equality, diversity and empowerment in Cyprus and in other parts of the world.
It is a valuable resource and a practical manual containing critical background on the current challenges and opportunities around gender and media issues (representation, employment, ownership, and so on); contemporary activist and academic thinking on how gender issues are linked to questions around media power and social change; advice on how to address gender issues in media institutions in order to transform organisational structures, policies and professional associations; and, finally, it includes information on the important contributions toward gender equality currently being made by activists working in alternative media and in gender and media organisations.
