Editorial Media & Gender Monitor # 21, April 2010

 Only 24% of the people seen, heard or read about in the news are female.

The rate of increase in women’s visibility in the news in relation to men has been maintained over the past decade, at an average rise of 0.6% annually since the year 2000. If this rate remains unchanged, it will take at least 43 years, slightly less than half a decade, to achieve gender parity in mainstream news.
