BANGKOK, 5 MARCH 2014 – Women in the media are grossly underrepresented in Asia-Pacific. According to the Global Report on the Status of Women in the News Media, men occupy the vast majority of managerial and newsgathering positions in the region – barely 13% of senior management positions are occupied by women. Women’s salaries are generally lower than those of men doing the same work, they are often relegated to the “soft news ghetto”, and qualified female candidates are blocked in their upward mobility by factors such as institutionalized prejudices. Gender stereotyping in the media is further compounded by commercial advertising and the entertainment industry. This must change!
