Diversity and inclusion are widely acknowledged by investor and industry initiatives as material issues for the media sector. Whilst much progress has been made, there is still room for improvement. In an era of increasing scrutiny of policies, progression and board level representation, the media sector is no exception. From tackling gender representation in media content to increasing diversity in the workforce and at board level, our panel will discuss their perspectives, challenges and ideas for pulling together best practices to strengthen gender equality both in the sector and within our organisations.
