The announcement:
You may be new to the industry or a veteran with years of expertise or somewhere in between. If so, your voice and views matter and Women in Media wants to hear them. The Women in Media survey lets you confidentially share your feedback about gender equality, career progression, access to support and resources, diversity, and/or senior roles for women.
Distinguished television producer and media executive, Anita Jacoby AM is right behind this important initiative. As a board director of Women in Media, Jacoby said the survey will provide important feedback. “The data will provide valuable insights into the issues and opinions of women working in the media,” she said.
“We want your views on industry commitment to gender equality, employer focus, your career, learning initiatives and future skills,” she said. “Your responses will help Women in Media focus its efforts and serve as building blocks for our future direction.”
The media industry is fast paced and constantly changing and how we adapt and evolve needs to match this environment with your input front and centre, guiding the way.
Women in Media exists to support women by creating connections, accelerating career development and maximising potential.
Providing opportunities for upskilling and access to resources through mentoring, industry programs and events, Women in Media encourages women to give back and create supportive environments to achieve professional success, with the greater visibility of women in media creating a virtuous circle of participation.
While individual responses will remain strictly confidential, published findings will be released to participants, the media, government, and industry.
The survey closes Friday 15 April 2022.
