This study (GMAS) about media consumption patterns is a sequel to the Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) conducted in 2002. GMAS desribes how audiences in six countries (Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia) perceive both the under-representation of women and their portrayal in limited roles in the news. With a summary.
The third Glass Ceilings survey of South African media launched on 19 October - national press freedom day - 2018 shows there have been dramatic shifts in the race and gender composition of media since the first study twelve years ago. But black women are still not fairly represented in media decision-making; the pay gap is widening, especially in the age of digitisation; and the old boys’ network is alive and well. In the #MeToo and #TotalShutDown era, the conversation is moving beyond numbers, to the underlying patriarchal norms that fuel sexist attitudes, harassment and its newest ugly form – cyber misogyny. With the 25th anniversary of democracy fast approaching, the key message in the report is that #TimesUp for the South African media and #TimeisNow to walk the talk of gender equality!
This edited collection examines women journalists’ experiences and obstacles in South Africa’s (SA) democracy. They exercise power, and add a vital diversity, but they are routinely harassed in the online social media space of big tech companies such as Twitter and Facebook by populist and corrupt politicians and their supporters. Using SA as the case study, this book examines attempts to curb women journalists’ freedom combining theory and first-hand accounts. The target audience for the book includes scholars of political philosophy, gender, media, communications, NGOs, media freedom activists and journalists.
This report os the regional overview of a landmark study on gender in the editorial content of the Southern Africa media. The most comprehensive regional effort ever to be undertaken to establish how women and men are represented and portrayed in the media, in what areas, and by who, the study covered a total of 25 110 news items in September 2002.
