From 1994 to 1999, the global news agency Inter Press Service (IPS) implemented a gender mainstreaming policy in its newsrooms. This study examined organizational changes and news coverage that IPS advocated, as well as methods employed to bring about these changes. It shows that IPS has not been able to mainstream gender into all aspects of the organization and news coverage, and it considers reasons for the lacking implementation of the policy, while documenting IPS's efforts to improve women's access and representation in international news.

Analysts say that "conditionalities" are holding up the process. A spokesman for the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research told the Inter Press Service that he hoped the institutions would "expedite" Haiti's debt cancellation without requiring the Caribbean nation to "jump through more hoops.
Given the circumstances of Haiti's dire environmental devastation, we feel that the people of Haiti would be better served if the government could use its Limited resources to address the environmental crisis, improve healthcare, expand access to education and reform the justice system," the letter stated.

Even more revealing was an Inter Press Service article, which reported that the campaign of violence carried out in September followed a plan coordinated by the opposition coalition, and that opposition legislators had been ejected from an early-September meeting after objecting to the violent methods under discussion.8 Yet major U.S. English-language media that covered the September events did not mention the planned nature of the violence, even after AFP noted that - in the midst of violent attacks, the ransacking of government offices, and the sabotage of a gas pipeline - the conservative governors are . . . encouraging the protesters in their actions and that militants linked to the opposition group set up road blocks to add pressure to the governors' demands for more control over...

I actually first set foot in The Gleaner in 1987, while a final-year student at the University of the West Indies. [Dudley Stokes] had put out an advertisement for new columnists, I thought I could fit the bill. I wrote a column about the death of Peter Tosh. I was always a Tosh fan; he appeals to that side of me which is a rebel (people who know me well know that side). The editor liked the article, he invited me in for a meeting but explained that I was too young to be a columnist. I was still a u...
