Live Blog from the Launch Event for Wednesday 8 February 2006

The Three Weeks of Action on Gender and the Mediablogs2006 are now closed, however they are accessible as “read-only” and we hope will give you added flavour on the activities that were taking place during the first ever global media justice campaign

On this blog, WACC and Stefania Milan from from the Stanhope Centre for Communications Policy Researchwill bring you regular updates of the Who Makes the News Global Launch Event live from the Foreign Press Association in London on 15th February 2006 from 11am until 1pm GMT. The debate for the day will focus on: Good journalism involves a search for diversity and balance in subject matter, perspectives and points of view. Fair representation of women is simply a matter of good journalism. The" Who Makes the News? 2005" report shows that this is currently not the case.

Additionally, we will be happy to take some of your questions to the panel during the Questions and Answers Session, so join us online, on 15th February 2006 at 11 am GMT and wherever you are in the world, and post on this blog your questions or comments for the panel on the day! And do not forget to give us your name and country (and organization if relevant) as well as your question. However please note that we will not be able to transmit all questions!
