There has been a marginal improvement in the proportion of women sources in the news in Malawi,
but there are wide differences among media houses. Women as news sources in the country increased from 11% in the 2003 Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) to 20% in Gender and Media Progress Study (GMPS). The proportion of women sources is slightly higher than the regional average of 19%, but lower than the global figure of 24%.
