An approach to feminist journalism in Colombia: scenarios, roles and perspectives

Abstract

The purpose of this social research is to analyze the impact of feminist journalism on the transformation of the social fabric of Colombia. Media with a feminist perspective dedicate their efforts to make gender violence visible and to challenge the social, cultural and political structures that perpetuate discrimination and violence against women. Feminist journalism plays a highly relevant role in the struggle for gender equality in the Colombian context. A mapping of the digital ecosystem of feminist media in Colombia was carried out and several feminist journalists and gender studies experts were interviewed in order to explore how feminist journalism is perceived as a tool for social transformation in the Colombian context. The voices of these women constitute an essential component for the development of this social research.
