Gender-sensitive indicators for media: Framework of indicators

This is a framework of indicators to gauge gender sensitivity in media operations and content. It discusses the creation of a set of gender-sensitive indicators that can be used internationally to enable media organisations and others – such as media workers’ unions and gender activists – to evaluate the place and role of women in newsrooms (print, broadcasting and internet) as well as in news content. Building on the work done by several global, regional and national surveys that have recorded the extent of inequality in news coverage and within media houses, the indicators are meant to help assess the nature and degree of imbalance and point the way towards internal measures to address evident disparities
