Studies on women's marginalisation as authors and sources of science stories in the media in developing countries are few, and fewer in the context of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Using feminist media theory, this study surmises that women are accordingly underrepresented in GMO stories. Based on a content analysis of 317 stories published in two Ugandan newspapers, findings indicate that chances of females being published as authors and sources increase if they collaborate with a male. There is a need for female scientists to collaborate with male counterparts and journalists to increase their visibility in the media in an agricultural sector where women are great contributors to the labourforce.

: Malnutrition is a prevailing serious issue in several nations. Among various strategies to counter the malnutrition, genetically modified organisms, GMO have been looked upon as an efficient remedial strategy.

Inspite of such huge potential, growing GMO in the fields face some intense oppose from various groups all over the globe. Some countries have doubts regarding safety of GMO and some may be overrating the safety concerns over benefits of GMO. So, true potential of GMO can only be deciphered if grown freely in the fields.
