Pacific media get IWD nod

Lowly News Status Is a Global Insult:
"Only 10 percent of all stories in the global spot check were focused specifically on women. News about gender inequality represented 4 percent of stories.
Mainstream media have taken some note of the report. Articles and interviews thus far have been moved by the BBC World Service, The Guardian and its sister newspaper, The Observer (United Kingdom), The Hindustan Times (India), Inter Press Service (Belgium), The Fiji Times and Pacific Magazine (Hawaii). The organizers say they also expect coverage in Time magazine and South Africa's Sunday Independent, among others. One, of course, is Women's eNews. "
