This groundbreaking “Global Report on the Status Women in the News Media” examining more than 500 companies in nearly 60 countries shows that men occupy the vast majority of the management jobs and news-gathering positions in most nations included in this study. The International Women’s Media Foundation commissioned the study to closely examine gender equity in the news media around the world. Byerly acted as principal investigator. The full report was unveiled at the International Women Media Leader’s Conference in Washington.
