Women in Media Leadership: Barriers, Bias, and the Business Case

What does diversity in media actually mean in day-to-day newsroom practice — and why does it matter now more than ever?

In this episode, Orsolya Seregély speaks with Marcela Kunova, Managing Director of Journalism UK, about gender inequality in media leadership, structural barriers to ownership, access to funding, sponsorship culture, and the business case for diversity

They discuss why tokenism fails, how newsroom culture shapes editorial priorities, and what meaningful progress on gender equality in media could look like in the next five years.
