The Virtual Resource Centre (VRC) is an online resource centre for trainers, educators, journalists, gender and media activists and students. The VRC includes media alerts and highlights of media products such as news, features, opinions, editorials , advertisements etc.

Media alerts and highlights may be searched using the following criteria:
* Country
* Theme
* Skills
* GEM classification
(The GL Gender and Media classification system highlights whether an article illustrates a blatant or subtle gender stereotype; is gender aware or gender blind. Click here read more on the GEM classification.)

Both the media clippings and case studies have a description of the article. The case studies are written as training resources and include an analysis of the articles from a gender and journalistsic perspective and links to other training resources. The media article is attached as a jpeg to the case studies and clippings.
