IFJ calls for wider representation of women in media

Moscow Jul 14 (UNI/Sputnik) The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called on media to properly reflect the role of women in society after a study by the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) revealed on Wednesday that women make up just 25% of those heard, seen, or listened to in news content.
According to the study, the number of women as subjects and sources in digital news stories increased by 1% from 2015 to 2020, with a three-point improvement on news websites and a three-point decline in news media tweets.
Despite the increment in the news share of science and health stories in 2020 compared to earlier periods (from 10% in 2005 to 17% currently), women's presence in their coverage declined by five points after a steady rise between 2000 and 2015.
