Things are improving, but there\u2019s still a long way to go, as our research highlights. As communications experts working within the tech sector, we\u2019re in a position to change this &#8211; after all, we put people forward every day to speak on television, radio, across the press and podcasts and much more. We can curate change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Common Industry\u2019s rePResent wants to see significant steps taken towards a more balanced representation of gender in the media in the next five years. It aims to drive a positive conversation around gender representation and diversity. By working with female business leaders and founders, journalists and editors, the initiative aims to ensure communications professionals are part of the solution, closing the gap between businesses and the media.<\/p>\n<p>Allner comments:\u00a0<em>\u201cAt Common Industry, we\u2019re passionate in our belief that for every story of women\u2019s struggle there should be a story of women\u2019s success. That those speaking on behalf of industries, businesses and causes should be representative and equal. But we also know that it\u2019s not just up to journalists and editors &#8211; or even the business community. People working in PR &#8211; in-house and at agencies &#8211; have a huge part to play. That\u2019s why we\u2019re launching rePResent. To help pave the way towards equal representation in the media. To play our part in creating the future. After all: you can\u2019t be what you can\u2019t see.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech workers take a bleaker view on gender diversity in the media than many other sectors &#8211; such as media and marketing (64% believe women are underrepresented), manufacturing (66%) and healthcare (67%) 18% think that the media is \u00a0not doing enough to address the gender imbalance in its reporting Three quarters (75%) of those working [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[5127,3688],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v19.7.2) -
