Promoting media literacy means strengthening crisis prevention! In transition countries, media structures are often polarised along party lines. The focus should therefore be on the competencies of media users, because it is they who create the media effects.”

The social consequence of these troubles is faced exclusively by women journalists, firstly because of the cultural beliefs established in society about the distribution of gender roles, and secondly because of the popularity of women in Libya as a means of tactical pressure by the parties to the conflict.”
