How women are represented in the Media industry

During our in class research sessions we listened to a podcast which discussed why women are so under-represented in the media industry. One of the reasons why are the long hours which leads to women having to leave their jobs in order to have children or look after a family. These statistics support this statement... 
  • 72% Of the question time contributors are men 
  • 78% Of news articles are written by men
  • 84% Of radio reporters and guests on radio 4’s ‘today show’ are men
  • Less than 10% of sport journalists are women
  • Less than 5% of sport coverage are done by women
