Gender, Media, Diversity and Change: Taking Stock
When results of the 2010 Gender and Media Progress Study (GMPS) were first released, many Southern African gender and media activists expressed frustration at the slow rate of progress in the region. Coming seven years after the original Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS), one figure that was of particular concern was the marginal increase of women's sources from 17% to 19% in the region's news. Looking back at years of advocacy, training, and campaigning, there was a seemingly collective sigh of, "Is that it?"
The GEM Summit, and this edition of the journal, is produced within the context of the 2015 deadline set by the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, which calls for gender parity within the media, as well as equal voice and fair treatment of women and men in editorial content. Along with this important deadline, other events added impetus to the gender and media movement.
