Who Makes the News? Global Media Monitoring Project 2005.

On 16th February 2005 the world's news media came under scrutiny when hundreds of people in over 76 countries monitored the representation and portrayal of women and men in news on television, radio and in newspaper. One year on, groups in over 50 countries will launch the results of this incredible effort and challenge the media to ensure that fair gender portrayal becomes a professional criterion like any other such as balance, fairness and honesty which all good journalists should aspire to in their work.
