Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) has published the Guide on Gender in Media Coverage of Political Transition in the Arab world. The Guide is designed for the media professionals, journalists, editors, bloggers and programme producers and offers ideas for new angles for media coverage of transition and it is available in English, Arabic and French. This guide produced by Lesley Abdela is a useful practical help for any media covering Arab countries: Syria, Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Algeria et al.
For each topic – violations, governments, elections and constitutions – the questions are posed followed by a check-list for the journalists to test their story, to see whether they have included women. Each check-list is preceded by suggestions for news features, TV or radio discussion programmes and blogs. To make it easy to find information, the author and the publisher have provided resources and links for contacts.
