Round table in Beirut on gender equality within news rooms

The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers WAN-IFRA organized last April 27 a round table in Beirut to discuss its pioneer program ‘Women in the News’. The purpose of the said program is to empower women journalists and editors in targeted countries of Africa and the Middle East region, (Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Botswana) and facilitate their promotion to senior jobs within media institutions. The meeting also sought to engage executives and experts in the media and discover or create new ways that support gender equality, particularly in senior positions in the print and electronic media.
