In this keynote speech, Emma draws upon her extensive fieldwork researching the interplay between radio journalism and conflict zones in the Global South. By examining contexts of extreme insecurity, she highlights the gendered and gendering role of journalism, a complex dynamic that permeates the entire production cycle. She discusses structural and gendered inequalities that are deeply entrenched within journalistic institutions in these contexts, inequities that mirror and reinforce broader socio-cultural divides. She goes on to question the impact of these inequities on inclusivity in the news content, and on the reception of this content by audiences. She thus offers a nuanced understanding of journalism's capacity, in conflict settings, to either bridge societal rifts or exacerbate divisions along gendered lines.
