Television: insufficiently present women on the screen according to the CSA – Le Parisien

“The results of the wave in 2015 show that 37% (against 36% in 2014) only people in information, fictions, documentaries and magazines are women while they represent 52% of the French population “analyzes the report.

Magazines, dramas, news programs, documentaries, the Higher Audiovisual Council scrutinized more than 1,600 programs on 17 different channels. 63% of those appearing on television are men. Women accounted for only 35% of TV crossings in 2012 and 36% in 2014.

The figures therefore do that shudder. “In magazines and documentaries, there was a slight increase in the number of women (35% in 2015 against 34% in 2014). In fiction, also a slight increase in the number of women (39% in 2015 against 37% in 2014). In the information, the figures reveal stagnation in the rate of women (36% in 2015 and 2014) and even a drop in this rate in the French subjects of news programs (35% in 2015 against 36% in 2014 ), “the report notes.

“There are many women at the base, but they are reduced to secondary roles”


 Only drama saw the presence of women advance significantly. “In fiction, appears a higher rate of women-heroines (+6 points), and the rate of women-main characters (+2 points) and the rate of secondary characters-women (+4 points)” analyzes the study of CSA. Also the proof of the good health of French fiction.

Where the shoe pinches most, it is in news groups. The experts deficit is crying, women are more often called as witnesses or victims. The percentage of women is even lower than 2 and 6 points in the two main categories! “The problem is the valuation of women in senior positions, there are many women at the base, but they are reduced to secondary roles,” criticized Sylvie Pierre-Brossolette, in charge of gender issues within the CFS, France Info radio Thursday morning. “Television is a reflection of inequality, but also a corrective instrument” that could allow terms to reduce gender stereotypes in society hoped the media expert.

Despite several initiatives such as “Take the A ‘or expert that is published every year since 2012 and lists hundreds of names and female specialists coordinate Guide, women’s presence is still limited to the bare minimum, on the small screen. A report that echoed the analysis of the Ministry of Culture was pointing sexism different cultural backgrounds. Small detail of this survey, it showed that the positions of presenters on television was 63% occupied by women but this obviously included the entertainment programs. One more proof that stereotypes die hard in the top corner.
