Women make up just 21% of sources directly quoted in Australia's newspapers. Want to know more? Take a look at our research wlia.org.au/wp-content/uploa… #IWD2018

Obviously no male champions of change or panel pledgers there! Very disappointing. Thanks for calling it out @VitoCarrozzo @GenderAvenger @malechampions @miller_amanda #panelpledge

“If you can’t see her, you can’t be her.”
@BBCAMERICA and @womensmediacntr have released a new study showing that girls want more female superheroes in film and television. #NotEnough #SuperPowerGirls

So disappointing that an enlightened publication like @HarvardBiz keeps reinforcing the stereotypes. Maybe @wapppHKS , also based at @Harvard can exert some influence @GenderAvenger @WLIAus @WomenForMedia @shesource
Whilst this article raises some interesting points, we’re disappointed the authors chose to feature 16 male CEO’s mention only one 1 female #WomeninLeadership #FemaleCEOs

How can we get more women quoted in the media as expert source? Let’s challenge our Australian journalists to disrupt the industry & #quotemorewomen in their work #journalists #genderequality
With very few exceptions, mainstream media has always been dominated by men. This article from newsmavens.com tackles what would happen if the opposite were true!

Institutions should employ (and disclose) a 40-40-20 target — 40 per cent men, 40 per cent women and 20 per cent either!

So let’s just not mention the “q” word. Let’s talk about minimum numbers of men and minimum numbers of women we want to see representing us in our parliament. And let’s drop the word “merit” and talk about well qualified people. @Kate_Jenkins_ @pacificann1231 @Pathways_UoM
She'll be right? New research by @andrea_carson, @leahruppanner & Jenny Lewis (@ThePolicyLab) shows there is little public appetite on the conservative side of #auspol for embracing gender quotas. theconversation.com/shell-be… @ConversationEDU

For those looking for leaders and speakers....look no further than @WomenForMedia #GirlsCanDoAnything

@GenderAvenger @WomenForMedia @womeninmediaOZ NOT ONE one woman documentary photographer represented in group of 11 “Hope, A collaborative Prospective’. NOT ONE woman photographer featured in a major venue at Arles, France. Appalling.

Aaargh! So disappointing! @GenderAvenger in the US and @WomenForMedia in Australia are dealing with the same issues and providing databases of diverse, well qualified women to talk at conferences that cover all industries. There are no excuses @HollyRansom @TraceySpicer

Maybe the title should read “male ceos ...”. 13 referenced and not one a women. Come on. We have to be better than this @FinancialReview – at Sydney, New South Wales

Buttrose remarked on the advances the industry has seen in female representation. “When I began my career, standing on stage in front of an audience like this would not have seemed possible.”
