On 16th of February 2005, the world's news media came under scrutiny
when hundreds of people in over 70 countries monitored the
representation and portrayal of women and men in the news on television,
radio and in newspapers. This third 'Global Media Monitoring Project'
(GMMP) is organised by the Women's Programme of the World Association
for Christian Communication (WACC).

The Global Media Monitoring Project findings will be released February
15, 2006 to launch WHO MAKES THE NEWS? Three Weeks of Global Action on
Gender and the Media, February 16 - March 8, 2006. The new website will
be available on www.whomakesthenews.org at the end of January 2006.

The survey, targeted at journalists worldwide, is part of the WHO MAKES
THE NEWS? Campaign and hopes to identify factors in career advancement
for journalists. All responses are recorded anonymously. Additional
instructions for taking the survey are provided at the start of the
survey. Survey findings will be made available once the results have
been analyzed.

If you are a journalist and would like to take part in this survey,
please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=872551491092 . The
survey takes 5 to 8 minutes depending on your answers.

Thank you for your participation!
