Of the seven major United Nations conferences on global issues in the last decade, only one took place in Asia. However, the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in September 1995 was one of the largest multinational gatherings ever held, with 17,000 participants from 189 countries. In hosting the conference, China hoped to overcome the negative publicity it had endured after Tiananmen Square and to showcase the progress made by Chinese women. This study examines coverage of the conference by three international news agencies: the Associated Press, Reuters and Inter Press Service. It seeks to determine the amount and kind of coverage given to conference themes, and to Asian actors, organizations and nations in reports from the three news agencies
