From 16th February - 8th March 2006, the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) is organising Who Makes the News? Three Weeks of Global Action on Gender and the Media

Endorsed by both the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the Who Makes the News? campaign aims to promote gender equality in the media by challenging the news media to take substantial and immediate action to ensure that they represent women and men in a fair and balanced way.

The Who Makes the News? campaign begins on 16th February 2006. This is exactly one year since hundreds of gender and media groups in 76 countries joined in an effort of incredible solidarity to monitor the representation of women and men in their news media as part of the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP) 2005.  The GMMP 2005 results unfortunately show that the marginalisation of women in the news media is still very much a reality.
