ratungs-Website via qualitativen Online-Interviews. Nichtstandardisierte Online-Interviews – in Form offener Fragestellungen und narrativem Ansatz – stellen einen innovativen und genuinen Pfad der qualitativen Datengewinnung in der Sozialforschung dar und bedürfen somit der genauen Betrachtung und Evaluation des Forschungsdesigns und -erfolgs. Die Ergebnisse der Interviews zeigen auf, wie junge Menschen mit Problemen umgehen und ob und in welchem Maße die psychosoziale Beratung im Internet den Strukturen jugendlichem Problemumgangs entsprechen und die Problemanmeldung und Problembewältigung forcieren und somit ein „Auffangen im Netz“ gewährleisten kann."

"This qualitative study aims to show the need to encourage more Mozambican women to enter and to stay in journalism, and the need to mainstream gender in media coverage. The study, carried out by UNESCO, follows on the heals of a gender and media baseline study conducted by Gender Links (GL), an NGO

based in Johannesburg, and MISA. The GL/MISA study found that women in Mozambique constitute only 3 per cent of those working in the media, which is far below the regional average of 22 per cent. Women only constituted 15 per cent of the sources used in the media. This UNESCO qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 34 media experts. It was carried out in Maputo, the capital, Beira, in the central province of Sofala, and Nampula, in the north, during the months of October, November and December 2003. In addition to the interviews, a two-hour workshop was held in December with senior women journalists and editors to discuss the study and their views on gender and the media. The UNESCO study showed that women journalists are especially under-represented in Mozambique’s print media with some newspapers, such as the Sunday newspaper, Domingo, and the Independent, Zambeze, having no women journalists. Others had only one or two women. Most, although not all, editors felt that it was a problem having so few women journalists, but there was no agreement as to how to change this situation."

"There are considerable regional variations in media exposure across and within African countries. Take access to daily radio news bulletins, which is higher in Southern Africa (except Lesotho) than in West Africa: whereas 71 percent of South Africans listen to radio news daily, only 44 percent of N

igerians and 41 percent of Ghanaians do so (see Figure 3). Moreover, while radio listening is widespread, other media are used mainly in urban areas: town dwellers are four times more likely than rural residents to read a daily newspaper (23 percent versus 6 percent) and five times more likely to watch television every day (44 versus 8 percent). As such, urban news consumers have a wider choice of news sources than their country cousins, who tend to rely mainly on government-controlled national radio broadcasts." (Page 3)
