Gender in Entry Level Journalism

This 120 page book looks into the experiences of journalism students from the Polytechnic of Namibia (PON). According to the writers, the graduates are the first class of media students in Southern Africa to have gone through a course in which gender has been systematically integrated into all areas of their study.

The writers see this book as a contribution to the growing literature in the region on gender and the media. It is intended as a guide to other training institutions that may wish to adapt some of the approaches taken to their own work.

This book documents one of the far reaching efforts to mainstreaming gender in media education in Southern Africa, possibly even further afield. Targeting media training institutions, it describes strategies adopted, steps taken and lessons learned, with the aim of inspiring other training institutions to adapt and apply similar processes.
