This edited collection draws on and expands the findings from a
pan-European research project undertaken during 2012-13 which was
funded by the European Institute for Gender Equality and aimed to
explore three key issues in relation to gender and media: women's
inclusion in decision-making positions within media industries; how
women are represented in the media; and what policies and
mechanisms are in place to support women's career development and
promote gender equality. The research looked at 99 major media
organisations across the EU including public and private sector
broadcasters (TV and radio) as well as a number of major newspaper
groups. Researchers also monitored TV programmes (factual only but
including entertainment genres) across one week and coded 1200
hours of TV. In addition to elaborating the results from 16 of the
participating nations, the collection includes a set of
context-setting essays and a summarizing conclusion as well as a
reflection on the purpose and utility of gender indicators. It is
the first major work to look across the European media landscape
and explore both employment and representation, providing a unique
glimpse into the contemporary media scene in relation to gender
equality, including examples of good and less good practice.
