Gender gap in media still a concern

Women in News (WIN) Leadership Mapping Report of 2022, which was carried out in 17 countries, confirmed there is a significant gender gap within the highest ranks of power in the media at top levels.

The research revealed that women make up only 10% of business leads in the countries WIN assessed, which covers the seats of CEO or board chairperson. On the editorial front, the report found that women make up just 31% of the editorial lead, which covers positions such as those of the editor-in-chief or executive editor.
