The room at every #ijf24 session we organised was packed! Thank you everyone who came to listen & engage.

To remain in community I invite you to join Noodle: a telegram group for gender journalists tally.so/r/mZ8E0v

Big thanks too to Arianna, Chris & journalism festival team!

Attendance at session on extractive journalism at #ijf24 is disproportionately female. No mention of “gender” in blurb.

Panel asks: “How can we navigate needs of our reporting and needs of those we are reported on?”

Really struck by how much interest in care is gendered

What’s extractive journalism?
“When industry of journalism hijacks the craft” Yousra Elbagir

“When you project your experiences on subjects of your reporting” Jessie Lau

“When you develop a clinical relationship with material” Ladan Anoushfar

On “this type of journalism is advocacy”

“When it comes to battle for facts, journalists *are* activists” Maria Ressa

“If we continue like this we will be dispassionately reporting from end of the world but our job is: report to prevent end of the world” Branko Milanovic
#ijf24

. Steff Musho: “Just because someone says they are working on ‘women’s rights’ doesn’t make them a feminist.” ✅

This was a great and enlightening 💡conversation on the rising authoritarianism 🔨 in the world and why journalists 📝 should be more aware of the #gender story wars

What have we learned from reporting on femicide? John-Allan Namu highlights four priorities at #ijf24

1) gather data for documentation
2) deliver nuanced storytelling
3) focus on people over projects
4) search for long-term solutions

As Equals is working with Qudus Onikeku & company to translate our journalism on maternal health into performance to be put on in Lagos later this year.

So came to get inspiration from Florence Martin-Kessler & Outriders

Fair to say there’s lots of interest in art & journalism at #ijf24 !

'Mothers are not dying because of diseases we cannot treat. They are dying because societies have yet to [decide] that their lives are worth saving'

Still thinking about this quote from 2024 State of World Population report, released yesterday by UNFPA edition.cnn.com/interactive/as…

Had the warmest welcome from the journalism festival team… it’s good to be back for #ijf24 .

Looking forward to moderating today a whistlestop tour of some of the best examples of gender reporting from the past year. Join us IRL or online journalismfestival.com/programme/2024…
