Periphery of the peripheries: Women in Al Jazeera Arabic news

“

This article concludes that women were minimally represented in AJA news. Interviews and document analysis highlight that the Al Jazeera network does adopt gender-neutral policies on reporting news. By failing to recognize the intersectionality of gender and geopolitical positionality of Global South women, AJA privileges men’s experiences and voices, and consequently, women remain at the periphery of the peripheries in Al Jazeera news. Al Jazeera needs to address this gap through institutional and policy lenses.
