“What ‘kind’ of news. What ‘kind’ of war? Women’s Voices from the Hot Spots of Social, Political, Religious, and Environmental Conflicts” is the theme chosen to inaugurate this space for reflection and enhancement of the talents of women journalists.
On November 23 in Bari and on November 24 in Lecce, Lucia Goracci, Emanuela Bonchino, Francesca Gernini, Yasmine Taksin, Ceyda Karan, Nurcan Baysal, Giuliana Sgrena, Carmela Giglio, Asmae Dachan, Sandra Amurri, and Leila Ben Salah will speak.
Difficult profession, that of the war correspondent, but even more so if you are a woman. Not only because of the difficulties of informing at the risk of one’s own safety, but also and especially because of the continuous struggle with stereotypes and the daily difficulties of making a place for oneself within newsrooms.
Women journalists from Italy and abroad will recount their personal “war” to assert the right to tell stories interviewed by several female colleagues from Puglia in 8 discussion panels.
Another important topic of discussion will be the so-called “information warfare”: when there is no certainty about the news coming in, only fieldwork can shed light on events. The correspondent, has the arduous task of filtering and verifying this information while preserving its human side, without resorting to rhetoric and the spectacularization of pain.
The two-day event will conclude with the proposal of a Memorandum of Understanding between Giulia giornaliste, Ordine dei giornalisti, Assostampa, Consigliera di parità della Regione Puglia, Corecom, Regione Puglia and Puglia’s regional newspapers, for the use of gender language in newspapers, TV, radio, and public administration documents.
