Pass the Mic works to improve the representation of women of colour in Scottish news media working with academic, third-sector, media and communications partners –as well as with individual women of colour experts – to map, challenge and change news content and journalistic practices. This programme aims to disseminate and build on the learning from Pass the Mic’s first years in order to support longer-term change. It will do this firstly by gathering data relating to the experiences of women of colour involved in Pass the Mic, and then by sharing this and other existing research with key stakeholders. Through this programme, we seek to expand the range of key stakeholders working with Pass the Mic, retaining existing collaborations with media partners and complementing this with direct engagement with communications teams who can play an important gatekeeper role in bringing research by women of colour to a wider audience (e.g. through working with research funding bodies, universities, trade unions and third-sector organisations). The events will all be led by women of colour and provide unique opportunities to bring the diverse and dispersed community of women of colour involved in Pass the Mic together for the first time to facilitate networking, skills development and capacity building. Through this programme we also aim to expand the Pass the Mic network, in particular by involving more women of colour academics working in diverse disciplinary contexts across Scotland. Outcomes from the programme will include the development of commissioned commentary and analyses pieces by women of colour to be shared through partnerships with not-for-profit media platforms and third-sector organisations.
