This initiative can only work if the global media cooperates. The two top editorial positions in our newspaper are both held by women, but nevertheless we think it important to give the job to a junior editor for the day. We know she can do it, and will benefit from the experience. Why should it be humiliating? (see comment below from Raquel Roca) Why not a challenge? Once done, and done well, it will surely empower women journalists to reach for the top. In my opinion all the Beijing and other declarations in the world won't help women to attain their goals unless they fight for them themselves. Women must simply continue to empower themselves, and if it means more work, harder work, then so be it. No one will give it to us unless we fight for it.So from me a challenge to all the world's male editors/media chiefs: give the reins to women for the day, and if they do it well, move over!

Creo que es una absoluta tomadura de pelo que las mujeres tomen las riendas
de los mas media el 8 de marzo. Es humillante que se "conceda" la posibilidad UN DIA a la mujer de dirigir los mass media. La ideas NO DEBE SER que un día la mujer se sieta poderosa, sino que se la ayude a serlo habitualmente. ¿De veras no le parece humillante la medida? Para un dia que las mujeres deben descansar, hacer huega, y hacer ver a os hombres lo mal que lo pueden pasar sin la labor de sus compañeras, se dice ahora que a trabajar. Nunca me avergonzó la UNESCo, ahora si.
I find it absurd that women be at key media posts on March 8. Giving women editorial control just for one day is humiliating. In my mind, support for women to hold key posts in the media should go beyond the one day initiative . It should be on-going ! Instead of suggesting women work even more on March 8, I suggest women rest, or go on strike, and show to their colleagues the importance of their work. Shame on you UNESCO.
Je trouve absurde que les femmes soient à la tête des media le 8 mars.
"Accorder" aux femmes la possibilité de diriger les medias juste pour une journée est une mesure humiliante. A mon avis, il ne s'agit pas de donner le pouvoir aux femmes juste pour une journée, mais les aider à devenir puissantes au jour le jour. Vraiment, ne trouvez-vous pas que cette initiative est humiliante? Une journée où les femmes pourraient profiter pour se reposer, faire la grève et montrer à leur collèges l'importance de leur travail, plutôt que de proposer de les faire travailler d'avantage.
L`UNESCO ne m'avait jamais fait honte, maintenant oui.

Dirijo la revista "Trabajadora" que edita la Secretaría de la Mujer del
sindicato Comisiones Obreras. La única revista en España que informa desde
una perspectiva de género sobre la situación de las mujeres en el mundo
laboral. He intentado enviarles una tribuna para su página dedicada al "8 de marzo
women make the news" pero me ha sido imposible.
Reciban mi apoyo y el de toda la redacción, compuesta por mujeres, a su
iniciativa, ya que aunque las mujeres han accedido al mundo de la
información, aún no ocupan los puestos de decisión.
Tampoco la información que ofrecen los medios refleja una realidad de
hombres y mujeres.
I am the director of "Trabajadora" (Working Woman) a magazine edited by the Woman’s Secretariat of the union "Comisiones Obreras." It is the only magazine in Spain that covers the issues of working women. The writing and editing is done by women and together we support this initiative. Although the women of today have access to the information society they do not yet hold positions of power. The information offered in by the media does not reflect the reality of men or women.
Je dirige la revue "Trabajadora" qui est editée par le Secrétariat de la
Femme du syndicat "Comisiones Obreras". Il s'agit de la seule revue en
Espagne qui traite de la situation des femmes dans le monde du travail.
Toute la rédaction, qui est formée par des femmes, ainsi que moi-même
soutenons cette initiative.Même si les femmes ont accès aujourd'hui au monde de l'information elles
n'occupent pas encore des postes de décision. L'information offerte par les médias ne reflète pas non
plus la réalité des hommes et des femmes.

Like the idea, bring it on. Our company, Nua, publishes five websites daily, of which one is a highly-respected Internet trends and satatistics resource. All of our websites have women senior editors. Best, Oriana, http://www.nua.com/
Nous suivons votre idée ! Notre compagnie, Nua, édite cinq sites web par jour dont l'un est
très respecté pour ses statistiques et tendences de l' Internet. Tous nos sites web sont édités par des femmes. Oriana, http://www.nua.com
