Getting the Balance Right: Gender Equality in Journalism

The International Federation of Journalists' handbook "Getting the Balance Right" is written to give added argument and dynamism to gender equality campaigns that the IFJ believes should be taken up in every newsroom to fight against discrimination and champion journalistic standards. This handbook is an illustrated guide and resource for journalists to equip them with information for an understanding of gender issues in their work. It is addressed to media organisations, professional associations, and journalists' unions seeking to contribute to the goal of gender equality.
