Although there is progress in the Ethiopian media on reflecting the voices of both women and men fairly, sources are still mostly men. One panellist told of an instance where a reporter, sent to write a portrait of a prominent woman, actually came back having done an interview with her husband. Experts asked for their views are mainly male. In general, Ethiopians are not very outspoken because they do not want to run the risk of making any comment which could be seen as too critical. For women the situation is even more difficult, given that Ethiopia is a male-dominated society. “Lazy and under-resourced” journalists, as one panellist said, are not putting enough effort into getting female voices represented in the media. Over recent years the topic of gender equality has increasingly come under discussion in radio talk shows and other media. 32 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER ETHIOPIA 2010
