Panellists include: Eleanor Mills, Editorial Editor, The Sunday Times; Julie Chappell OBE, Hawthorn; and Sophie Walker, Leader, Women’s Equality Party

International research has shown that women in media are systematically underrepresented as editors, reporters and sources in the media.

In the business media, this is even worse: recent research undertaken by the 100s Project found that women in media only make up 12% of quotes in the UK’s business pages.

To address the treatment of women by and in the media, the Women’s Equality Party (for which equal treatment of women by and in the media is a core part of its manifesto), and the 100s Project are bringing together journalists and senior women in business to help shift this reality by connecting those that write the news, with those that should be commenting on it.

Please join us on 5th October 2016 at The Bluebird in Chelsea from 18.30hrs to hear from the organisers, have a drink, and connect with like-minded people in discussing this issue. We are asking for your personal contribution and not requesting that you attend in your professional capacity.
