inGenere

inGenere is an editorially independent project of the think-tank Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini. It was founded in 2009 by a group of women economists who felt unheard by the mainstream media despite their high-profile curricula as external policy advisors for the European Commission.

inGenere aims to bring a feminist view to the public discourse. Building on the example of La Voce, it wants to get the voice of experts out of academia.

The newsroom consists of three people working part-time. Most of the articles are written by unpaid external contributors from academia, media sector and civil society, with 90% of the authors being women. Before publishing, every article is submitted for peer review and fact-checking. inGenere does not publish opinion pieces but data-grounded analyses.

Over the years, it has succeeded in achieving its reputational goal, and its articles are often quoted or used as sources by mainstream media. Also, its political proposals are debated. Editor-in-chief Barbara Leda Kenny said: "During the pandemic, we doubled the content production due to the multiple impacts of the situation on gender equality. The audience has grown accordingly. However, we are proud of being a niche publication."
