NEW DELHI: A 32-member Gender Council for media was constituted by Delhi Union of Journalists (DUJ) members here on Wednesday to concentrate on issues such as depiction of women in the media and the manifold forms of their exploitation. The newly formed Gender Council will have equal representation of women and male members. During the three-hour long meeting, it was decided that veteran journalist and DUJ treasurer Sujata Madhok will be the chairperson of the Gender Council. The Gender Council was constituted as an extension of the decision of the general body on January 13 this year and also keeping in mind the DUJ's role since the late 1970's in projecting gender issues not merely as projects but based on Indian realities. Speakers criticised the current media's obsession with celebrities and urged their colleagues to stop selling trivia. Journalists agreed to take up progressive issues through the media.
