      About the Book

This edited collection draws on and expands the findings from a 
pan-European research project undertaken during 2012-13 which was funded 
by the European Institute for Gender Equality and aimed to explore three 
key issues in relation to gender and media: women’s inclusion in 
decision-making positions within media industries; how women are 
represented in the media; and what policies and mechanisms are in place 
to support women’s career development and promote gender equality. The 
research looked at 99 major media organisations across the EU including 
public and private sector broadcasters (TV and radio) as well as a 
number of major newspaper groups. Researchers also monitored TV 
programmes (factual only but including entertainment genres) across one 
week and coded 1200 hours of TV. In addition to elaborating the results 
from 16 of the participating nations, the collection includes a set of 
context-setting essays and a summarizing conclusion as well as a 
reflection on the purpose and utility of gender indicators. It is the 
first major work to look across the European media landscape and explore 
both employment and representation, providing a unique glimpse into the 
contemporary media scene in relation to gender equality, including 
examples of good and less good practice.
