Towards Operationalising Self-Regulation in Ethiopia

On July 28th, MERSA Media Institute (MMI), in collaboration with Fojo-IMS, launched a study themed at operationalising media self-regulation in Ethiopia. The study explores ways of developing an independent, professional, vibrant, responsible and public interest-responsive media sector in Ethiopia. Self-regulation is one of the key components of the IMS-Fojo program in Ethiopia, as it aims to help strengthen the media reform partly through self-regulated media.

Trögt med jämställdheten i det globala nyhetsflödet

Det ser ut att dröja länge innan nyhetsinnehållet i världens medier blir jämställt. De senaste fem åren har utvecklingen i princip stått still. Men Sverige sticker ut och har tagit ett rejält kliv framåt. Det visar rapporten Räkna med kvinnor 2020 som släpps i dag. I Sverige är det 38 procent kvinnor som syns och hörs i nyhetsflödet, vilket kan jämföra med en fjärdedel globalt.
Av de föreslagna nominerar nu juryn sju reportage/reportageserier som kommer att tävla om prissumman 50.000 kronor.

Democracy Talks: Women in the News – Promoting gender equality in media

Rwanda has made great progress in gender equality and has an ambitious gender policy that cuts across all sectors of society. It is steadily among the top ten countries globally on the Gender Gap Index and the highest-ranking African country.

Thai audiences seek trusted media, not just the quick one

The multi-skilled, multi-tasking and ever-mindful journalist is in demand in these times of media disruption in Thailand, as well as elsewhere in Southeast Asia. With the digitalisation of our information settings comes the need to update not just how news is reported, but the teaching and training of journalism itself.

In this chat, Jessada and Fojo Media Institute’s consultant Johanna Son discuss the challenges that our changed media settings pose on journalism today, why it is important to develop journalism learning tools that are contextualised in perspective and language.

Voices of women journalists in Myanmar

”I know the potential dangers and consider that I could be the one who is shot that day, but I want to go to the demonstrations myself anyway.

I worry about my children who will have no one to take care of them – more than I care about being killed. Another thing I worry about is that international news coverage will stop.

I want peace and I want my children’s future to be beautiful and bright and I also hope for full human rights.”
