- Description: In March 2003, Genderlinks and the Media Institute of Southern Africa (Misa) conducted a global Gender and Media Baseline Study. The study covered a total of 25 110 news items in September 2002, across all Southern African Development Community countries. It was found that women constituted only 17% of news sources, 1% less than the global average of 18%. In South Africa the figure was 19%. The race and gender breakdown is particularly disturbing, with only 7% of sources being black women, in spite of the fact that black women constitute 45% of the total population.
