The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) will organise a live discussion on the Media coverage of women in politics and its impact on democracy on 10 April from 5 to 6.30 pm at the Residence Palace, rue de la loi 155, Brussels.
These discussions follow the closure of one of the IFJ's landmark project "Rewriting the story: Gender, Media and Politics" which addressed barriers to the fair representation and portrayal of women and men in political life. Working with frontline journalists, news media managers, journalism universities and journalists’ unions and associations, the project provided extensive research, developed specialised training modules for journalists and media newsrooms, trained over 300 journalists across Europe and beyond and ran an innovative Peer-to Peer programme, working with newsroom managers, producers, journalists and journalists’ unions to produce and adopt protocols, guidelines, agreements and initiate a mindset shift towards gender equality in editorial decisions and newsroom organisation and working conditions.
The panel discussions on 10 April will bring together:
Lina Galvez, MEP, chair of the FEMM group in the European Parliament
Sabinet Panet, Editor-in-chief of axelle magazine, Belgium
Shada Islam, Founder of New Horizons Project, independent commentator and analyst on EU affairs
Discussions will be moderated by Pamela Morinière, Gender expert, Head of Communications at the IFJ.
