Analysis of the Evolution of, and the Landscaping of the Organisations working in the Gender and Media sector in Southern Africa

Since the wave of the new political and constitutional order in Southern Africa, the media has underrgone a metamorphosis, from mainly trumpeting government propaganda to becoming pluralistic and laying to the fore a multiplicity of ideas. The historical context was almost void of debate on gender but there have been some efforts in the past two decades to include gender as an integral agenda in media debates. This report, therefore, addresses the changes that have taken place in the media in the last two decades, the players and their impact in terms of engendering the media. It will also point out some challenges and propose possible solutions to those challenges.
