The Who Makes the News? Campaign will end on 8th March 2006 - International Women's Day Together with UNESCO, WACC and its partners worldwide challenge all media producing daily news to give editorial responsibility to women editors and journalists to direct the news on 8th March 2006 as a first step towards promoting gender equality in the media.
During Who Makes the News? Three Weeks of Global Action on Gender and the Media, hundreds of gender and media activists around the world will organise activities using the global, regional and national results of GMMP 2005 to establish a dialogue with news media on their representation of women and men and to explore ways to ensure that women are no longer marginalised in the news media.
The Who Makes the News? campaign is a unique and exciting opportunity for all those who are committed to the promotion of gender equality and communication rights to join together to challenge the media to fulfil their democratic responsibility to represent women and men in a fair and balanced way.
