Why are you a GMMP coordinator? What motivated you to lead the GMMP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined the GMMP at its inception in 1995, when I collaborated as a coder. From the beginning, I recognized the importance of Puerto Rico’s participation in a global study that would help highlight gender inequality in the press. For this reason, in 2000, for the second monitoring, I agreed to take on the coordination of the national project. Since then, I have continued to lead this effort in my country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you using the GMMP methodology, tools and findings? How have any of these dimensions of the GMMP shaped the work of your organization, institution or network?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a journalism professor (University of Puerto Rico, R\u00edo Piedras Campus<\/a>), I have involved students and faculty in communication and journalism in media analysis. In this regard, the students and faculty who have collaborated have understood the characteristics of the design and methodological tools that are applied to various national-cultural contexts. Likewise, the research process has helped raise awareness about gender issues, and the results have served as an empirical reference for studies in the field of journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What positive change has the GMMP driven in your context? What contribution has it made to the process towards gender equality in or through the media?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, the results of the GMMP have been presented publicly and reviewed by the media in Puerto Rico. They have also been shared with media executives and have led to the creation of academic and professional activities. There is no doubt that conducting this study in a systematic manner helps to ensure that gender issues in the press are a topic of ongoing public discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we mark the GMMP\u2019s 30th anniversary now in 2025<\/strong>, <\/strong>why do you believe that it is crucial for the GMMP to continue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efforts to continue this project and add more countries contribute to exposing gender inequality on a global scale and, in doing so, to the fight for a more just and equitable society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conozca a la Coordinadora del GMMP para Puerto Rico, Lourdes Lugo-Ortiz<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nombre: <\/strong>Lourdes Lugo-Ortiz
Coordinadora del GMMP para: <\/strong>Puerto Rico<\/a>
Desde: <\/strong>2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es usted el\/la coordinador\/a del GMMP? \u00bfQu\u00e9 le motiv\u00f3 a dirigir el GMMP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me un\u00ed al Proyecto de Monitoreo Mundial de Medios (GMMP, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) desde sus or\u00edgenes en el 1995, cuando colabor\u00e9 como codificadora. Desde el inicio, reconoc\u00ed la importancia de que Puerto Rico participara en un estudio global que ayudara a visibilizar la desigualdad por raz\u00f3n de g\u00e9nero en la prensa. Por esta raz\u00f3n, acept\u00e9, en el 2000 y para el segundo monitoreo, asumir la coordinaci\u00f3n del proyecto nacional. Desde entonces, he continuado al mando de esta gesti\u00f3n en mi pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo utiliza (o ha aplicado) la metodolog\u00eda, las herramientas y\/o los resultados del GMMP? \u00bfC\u00f3mo ha influido alguna de estas dimensiones del GMMP en el trabajo de su organizaci\u00f3n, instituci\u00f3n o red?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como profesora de Periodismo (Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto de R\u00edo Piedras<\/a>), he involucrado a estudiantes y al profesorado de Comunicaci\u00f3n y Periodismo en el an\u00e1lisis de los medios. En ese sentido, el estudiantado y profesorado que han colaborado han entendido las caracter\u00edsticas del dise\u00f1o y de los instrumentos metodol\u00f3gicos que son aplicados a diversos contextos nacionales-culturales. Asimismo, el proceso de investigaci\u00f3n ha ayudado a concienciar sobre la cuesti\u00f3n de g\u00e9nero, y los resultados han servido como un referente emp\u00edrico para estudios en el \u00e1rea del Periodismo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 cambios positivos ha producido el GMMP en su contexto? \u00bfQu\u00e9 contribuci\u00f3n ha hecho al proceso de promoci\u00f3n de la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres en los medios o a trav\u00e9s de ellos?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde el 2000, los resultados del GMMP se han presentado p\u00fablicamente y han sido rese\u00f1ados por los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n en Puerto Rico. Tambi\u00e9n, han sido compartidos con los directivos de los medios, y han dado pie a la creaci\u00f3n de actividades acad\u00e9micas y profesionales. No hay duda de que conducir este estudio de forma sistem\u00e1tica ayuda a que la cuesti\u00f3n de g\u00e9nero en la prensa sea un tema que entre a la discusi\u00f3n p\u00fablica de forma constante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De cara al 30\u00ba aniversario del GMMP en 2025, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 cree que es esencial que contin\u00fae?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los esfuerzos de seguir adelante con este proyecto y de seguir sumando pa\u00edses contribuyen a que, con un alcance mundial, se denuncie la desigualdad por raz\u00f3n de g\u00e9nero y, con ello, se luche por alcanzar una sociedad m\u00e1s justa y equitativa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
