"Unser Trendreport zeigt zum einen, wie in regionalen und überregionalen Tageszeitungen, in Boulevardmedien sowie in den Meldungen der dpa und auf Spiegel Online über Gewalt gegen Frauen berichtet wird. Im Fokus der Analyse steht die Darstellung von Tat, Tätern und Opfern sowie die Verwendung von

Begriffen wie „Familiendrama“ oder „Femizid“. Erfasst wurde, ob die Tat strukturell eingeordnet, ob Bezüge zu anderen Taten hergestellt und ob Hilfsangebote erwähnt wurden. Auch der Frage nach Unterschieden in der Darstellung deutscher und nichtdeutscher Täter wurde nachgegangen. Zum anderen ermöglicht das Studiendesign einen Vergleich der aktuellen Erhebung mit den Befunden der Studie von 2021. Das nüchterne Ergebnis: Einzelne Tendenzen weisen in die richtige Richtung, aber grundlegend hat sich wenig verändert. Die Berichterstattung bleibt selektiv und konzentriert sich auf extreme Einzelfälle wie Tötungsdelikte. Strukturelle Ursachen der Gewalt gegen Frauen und präventive Ansätze werden kaum thematisiert. Zudem stehen zu häufig die Motive der Täter im Fokus, die Konsequenzen für die Opfer kommen nur selten zur Sprache." (Vorwort, Seite 2)

This is the first comprehensive work that traces the international media image and the creation of historical memories of the Rwandan genocide, starting with the day to day television news reporting in 1994, and continuing with analyzes of how the genocide has been used and recreated in film and documentaries on a global level as well on a national level, where Rwanda, as a nation, creates its own images of the genocide in film and television production in order to support a new national identity."

te the ontological limitations which present structural and systemic challenges for journalists who report on the normalization of violence against women in country cases in Argentina; Brazil; Mexico; Indonesia; Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa; Egypt; Libya, Syria, and Yemen. Challenges include patriarchal forces; gender imbalance in newsrooms; propaganda and censorship strategies by repressive, hyper-masculine, and populist political regimes; economic and digital inequities; and civil and transnational wars. Presenting diverse conceptual, methodological, and empirical chapters, the collection offers a revision of existing frameworks and guidelines and aims to promote more gender-sensitive, trauma-informed, solutions-driven, and victim or survivor centered reporting in the region."

In doing so, the editors put feminism in conversation with global trends to identify its cultural frontline." (Publisher description)

n women in film and music. This study examines the way that women are represented in news media, focusing on one specific incident as a case study. Through framing theory guided by an intersectional African feminist lens, I examine the way that mainstream media represented the lynching of Mariama Akua Denteh. I argue that although news media purport to be objective in news reportage, the patriarchal systems within which media organizations are situated shape the ways in which they report narratives that focus on marginalized communities. I demonstrate how the news frames on the lynching of Madam Denteh demonstrate the marginal position that Ghanaian women occupy and how that can guide us toward deconstructing how intersecting oppressions are treated in narrativizing news stories that focus on marginalized women."

reported and the human rights violations involved. Concern about media reporting of GBV lies within the larger thinking that gender equality lies at the core of human rights approach to development. There was lack of in-depth reporting on GBV during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The reporting also lacked sensitivity even as more stories on GBV ran digital platforms compared to those on mainstream media. Use of inappropriate language in the coverage of GBV, leading to double trauma on victims also went a notch higher even as victims were left exposed. This, especially, applied to underage and rape victims. There was also a lack of centralised statistics/data to analyse the trend, or map out hot spots for sensitization." (Executive summary)
