Publications about the GMMP:

Gênero na Mídia: o GMMP Brasil

O ebook “Gênero na Mídia: o GMMP Brasil” [Kindle] surge como um desdobramento do trabalho realizado em 2020 para o Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP). Nesta publicação, buscamos alargar a discussão dos dados disponíveis no relatório brasileiro a partir de trabalhos que (re)contextualizam o GMMP em termos teóricos e práticos. Composto por oito capítulos, o volume traz reflexões sobre os estereótipos midiáticos de gênero na América Latina, no Brasil e a partir de diferentes recortes regionais, demonstrando que o sexismo na produção noticiosa brasileira é uma característica transversal do Jornalismo.
