Furthermore, only 22 percent of the top editors across 240 major outlets in 12 markets are women. This is according to new research from the Reuters Institute.
The research looked at the gender breakdown of top editorial figures at leading offline and online news outlets in 🇲🇽 🇰🇪 🇧🇷 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇪🇸 🇿🇦 🇩🇪 🇭🇰 🇬🇧 🇫🇮 🇺🇸
➡ Women editors by country:
Despite a wide variation, no market in our sample has a majority of women top editors in 2023:
🇲🇽 5%
🇰🇪 13%
🇧🇷 13%
🇰🇷 14%
🇯🇵 17%
🇪🇸 19%
🇿🇦 20%
🇩🇪 20%
🇭🇰 27%
🇬🇧 35%
🇫🇮 36%
🇺🇸 44%
➡ New women editors:
Among the 38 new top editors appointed, only 26 percent are women.
While half of the markets we track have seen a growing share of women among top editors, many others have declined, particularly in 🇿🇦 South Africa: 40%>20%.
➡ Women journalists compared to women editors:
There are considerably more women working as journalists than among top editors in all markets covered except the 🇺🇸 US.
➡ Correlations with broader gender equality measures:
We find only a weak correlation between the % of top editors who are women and broader gender equality as measured by the UN Gender Inequality Index. Countries that score well on the GII, such as 🇪🇸 Spain and 🇰🇷 South Korea, have relatively few women among the top editors.
➡ Those who get news from outlets with women editors:
In half of the markets covered, less than half of online news users have accessed information from at least one major outlet with a woman as top editor in the past week. The average across all markets covered is 48%.
