Tips for the use of the media by women parliamentarians was the result of women parliamentarians revealing in a workshop that they hide from the media because they believe it is out to destroy women’s contributions. Many women, at all levels, do not know how to handle the press. This booklet aims to address these concerns.

The booklet covers the role and power of the media in society; accessing the media (press conferences, press releases and interviews); what makes news; maintaining good relation and remaining in the news – positively and the law and the media.
