The AD&IJ Project aims to promote Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) values and practices within the journalism field, at both the news coverage level and newsrooms composition and organisation level.
Objectives
- Enhance journalists’ understanding of the D&I values and practices in news coverage.
- Raise awareness among news media organisations of the importance of having diversified newsrooms and identify concrete ways to diversify editorial staff.
- Transfer D&I good practices from other fields (e.g., the advertising industry) to the specific field of journalism and/or from one area of diversity (e.g., gender/sex) to another (e.g., ethnicity), using a participatory approach that involves journalists and news media organisations, based in Belgium, Italy, Spain but also in Europe and Mediterranean Region.
- Develop and disseminate Guidelines for a D&I-sensitive journalism, at both the news coverage and newsroom levels, sharing them with all members of the AD&IJ project partnership and all other journalists and news media organisations not represented by the partnership but that the project can reach.
Activities
- Participatory Workshops for journalists and decision-makers in news media organisation.
- Transfer of Good Practices from other fields to the specific field of journalism and/or from one area of diversity to another.
- Development of Guidelines for a D&I-sensitive journalism as a free and open-source resource.
- Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication of the Project.
