Gender Audit for Newsrooms: Recomendations

This practical tool is designed for newsrooms that want to assess the extent to which gender equality principles are reflected in their work and internal processes. It helps systematically analyse editorial practices, content, the representation of women and men, as well as possible manifestations of gender stereotypes and inequality.

The recommendations provide approaches and questions to help conduct a gender audit of a newsroom, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and understand what changes can strengthen gender equality in the media.

The tool will be useful for media managers, editors, HR professionals, and other newsroom team members who want to make their working environment and media content more equal, non-discriminatory, and gender-sensitive.
