The Palgrave International Handbook on Women and Journalism on its way!

Carolyn M. Byerly who was the principal investigator of the IWMF study is also the editor of a volume from Palgrave Macmillan  where scholars from all over the world are contextualizing the data from Global Report on the Status of Women in The News Media

The book will be an important contribution to the global discussion about women and the media. 

There are contributions from all regions included in the book. From the Nordic countries there are chapters about Finland, Norway and Sweden are included in the book. Henrika Zilliacus Tikkanen and Tarja Savolainen wrote about the Finnish situation, Turid Øvrebø wrote about Norway and I contributed with a chapter on Sweden.

The Palgrave International Handbook on Women and Journalism will materialize as a book in autumn 2013.

Preparations

Can´t wait to listen the women media leaders discussing the global situation in the news room.

Starting up the blog and collecting material for the trip. NIKK magasin on Nordic gender research and the english magazine on Swedish gender research. I also passed the Nordicom office and got some leaflets on their publications.
