Monitoring of the Print Media in BiH with respect to the Representation of Women and the Way They are Presented
Publisher: Association “BIH Journalists”
Date: July 2005
Volume: 16 pages, pdf
Description
The two-week monitoring of daily papers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which have diverse editorial policies, geographic coverage or readership profiles, has demonstrated great similarities in the way women are presented and in approaching women, namely a common matrix of ignoring the women in the society. The main characteristics of the presence of women in BIH media, which have resulted from the monitoring, are as follows: Women are marginalized in the media both in terms of their representation and topics; Women are not, with the exception of one paper, correctly referred to in terms of gender; The media treat women more like transmitters of someone else’s opinion than like the protagonists of events that have their personal views on the topic covered; The media are not sensitive to women’s issues and achievements; The media reproduce the patriarchal painted model of women in the society; The method in which women are depicted is almost identical in all the media, which means that it represents the dominant characteristic of the community
