Glass Ceiling report: Malawi

This audit of women and men in Malawi media houses is part of the Glass Ceilings: Women and Men in Southern African Media conducted by Gender Links (GL) in partnership with Gender and Media Southern African (GEMSA) Network in Malawi.

The findings will be used in a global study being carried out by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) through the Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC). The centre is a partnership between media development organisations and training and higher-learning institutions. It “collects and connects” knowledge, and collaborates to advance gender equality and diversity in the media across the globe. The GMDC has also facilitated partnerships around the fourth Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), and second Southern African Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) to be undertaken in 2009/2010.

In Malawi the study is based on research carried out in 10 media houses, with a total of 1 132 employees. Researchers conducted in-depth case studies of two media houses and interviewed four journalists/senior managers/editors for their perspectives on the results. A further 39 senior staff responded to perception questionnaires.
