Florence, 8 March 2023 – To mark International Women’s Day, the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom calls for more vigorous action to improve the representation of women in the media sector.

Research shows that access to leadership roles remains limited for women. This perpetuates gender biases and stereotypes through the stories that are chosen to be told, the language that is used, and the way that women are portrayed.

This is the third conversation of the 100+ Conversations to Inspire Our New Direction (#OKFN100) project.

Arguments about different value concepts are a central component of ethical reflection. Arguments are formed to support specific value judgements. The approach to the discussion and negotiation of values is primarily a cognitive one. A strength of cognitive ethical argumentation is, for example, that freedom from contradiction can be presented well, or the deductive validity of a conclusion from the listed premises, etc. The major disadvantage is that it is not possible to make a cognitive argument.
