Event Description:
In the past year, women have shattered ceilings in some of the highest offices around the world, but the battleground for parity is still waging war in another segment of public discourse: the media.
Men continue to dominate policy matters, boardroom decisions, fellowships, and opinion pages. According to Media Matters for America, in 2015, only 21 percent (http://www.cvent.com/events/mproc.aspx?m=baf4900c-5c81-4f50-ad86-35eda1f1b05a&u=http%3a%2f%2fmediamatters.org%2fresearch%2f2016%2f03%2f07%2freport-womens-voices-shut-out-of-2015-news-cove%2f209052&l=%3cstrong%3eonly+21+percent%3c%2fstrong%3e) of guests discussing foreign policy on prime-time cable and top Sunday news shows were women. But one thing is clear: the gender disparity isn't a supply problem, it's a demand deficit.
On International Women's Day, join New America NYC, Foreign Policy Interrupted, and Media Matters for America for the release of the newest findings on women's representation in media and for a series of interactive discussions on how women and men alike can "interrupt" the lopsidedness in media and better reflect the society it aims to represent.
