Abstract [en]
The chapter "Media gender-equality regimes: Exploring media organizations’ policy adoption across nations", by Claudia Padovani and Rossella Bozzon, explores possible correlations between the socio-economic and cultural environments within which the media operate across the world, and the policies that have been adopted by media organisations to promote gender equality, in the attempt to explain the wide variation in the (limited) adoption of such policies in different countries and regions. The chapter investigates if, within such variation, it is possible to identify patterns of policy adoption that may indicate the existence of different media gender equality regimes in the media sector worldwide. The authors suggest that, on the basis of available data, countries can be grouped in five clusters showing similar pattern in policy adoption, from gender-blind to gender-transformative.
