Abstract
Around the world, journalism remains a male-dominated profession. This syndicate discussed the current state of the field and made recommendations on how to educate journalism students on gender and inequality. Participants agreed that good journalism is sensitive to gender and inequality issues and that course work should address these issues. Furthermore, schools must make a commitment to gender equality and diversity and offer resources to help faculty and students understand and better relate to these issues.
