‘Workshop | Inclusive Narratives: Embracing Gender Perspectives in Independent Journalism’

▸▹▸ REGISTRATION ▸▹▸

The gender perspective has been spreading in the media in recent years. Big media (including The New York Times in the USA, Folha in Brazil and Infobae and Clarín in Argentina) have integrated experts into their editorial teams, giving them decision-making power. At the same time, many female journalists have been joining newsrooms with a feminist perspective that was already incorporated in many independent media. But what is feminist journalism? Is it necessarily activist journalism? Is feminist journalism objective? What topics does feminism journalism deal with? What is our role in reporting violence against women? 

This workshop will explore these questions from the experience and the context of the facilitator. It contemplates a practical analysis of news headlines to detect their gender biases and rethink the approach from a feminist perspective.

Moderators:
■ Patricia Reguero (El Salto, ES)
■ Anastasia Vaitsopoulou (Popaganda, GR
