ROSS, Karen. Women in decision-making structures in the european media. Media & Jornalismo [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.30, pp.63-69. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_30_4.

The small number of women occupying senior positions in media organisations has been a cause for concern for several decades. The article presents the main results of a research aimed to explore women's penetration of top level management across a range of large media organisations, both public sector and privately-owned in the EU and Croatia. The project also analysed how senior women actually experience their media workplace and what kinds of gender-equality and/or women-focused policies are in place in those organisations. From the resulting data the project developed a set of indicators, also presented here, which would be adopted by the Council of the European Commission.

Keywords : Women's status in media; women and media organisations; gender in decision-making.
