December 30th 2007 22:39
The journalists making key editorial decisions at newspapers and broadcasters are overwhelmingly male, according to a survey just published by The Fawcett Society, which campaigns for equality and published the research.
According to the Guardian, Its study showed that only two out of Britain’s 17 national newspapers editors were women – the Sun's Rebekah Wade and Tina Weaver of the Sunday Mirror – while there was just one female deputy editor, Jane Johnson of the News of the World.
It also found that while 15 out of 34 radio and TV presenters were women, just one out of 17 news program editors were female.
