smedialidad. Este trabajo recoge narrativas o formas en las que se debería informar sobre asuntos fundamentales en torno a los que gira gran parte de la información de actualidad y que requieren un tratamiento adecuado, crítico y reflexivo. Parte de la idea fundamental de que la comunicación es un eje transversal de transformación y transiciones así como de la importancia de construir a partir de lo local, desde la proximidad. La guía se conforma en torno a cinco grandes temas de debate o bloques: Transición ecosocial; Perspectiva de género; Discursos de odio, Migraciones y grupos minorizados; Menores; y Discapacidades. El manual se completa con una sucinta guía en forma de anexo, un glosario de términos y algunas recomendaciones bibliográficas." (Descripción de la casa editorial)

As the name suggests, the overarching objective of the manual is to foster and reinforce best practices, policies, and programmes concerning gender in community radio (CR). It also seeks to ensure that the editorial content of CR stations remains gender sensitive at all times. The impetus of the project is also that the use of this gender-sensitivity manual by CR stations will contribute directly to the achievement of the key targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the stand-alone Goal 5, which aims to “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” (About the manual)

Language used in different communication materials and trainings puts forward specific positions and impressions, including at times perpetuating stereotypes. Thus, it is crucial to be clear about terms and definitions related to women migrant workers and violence against women, establishing a common ground from which to have conversations and work towards a world in which rights are respected for all and one in which women’s voice, choice and agency is recognised. This glossary presents rights-based terminology, which is based on international law and internationally agreed guidance wherever possible." (Introduction)

examples of gender stereotypes which often do inadvertently get mainstreamed and perpetuated by the news media, through poor language and image use, contributing to continuing discrimination. Many stereotypical social constructs get ‘normalized’ when the media perpetuates and sometimes ends up amplifying the same. For example, men are often described as heroes and epitomes of strength, with specific characteristics attributed to them. Similarly, women are regularly portrayed as weak and in need of male protection. We are constantly ‘programmed’ to ‘accept’ soldiers and freedom fighters to be men. Women on the other hand are often viewed as victims – of war, drought or epidemic – and as disempowered individuals who are meant for ‘softer’ jobs and needing ‘protection." (Preface, page 46)
