    Women’s voices continue to be underrepresented in the global news media. A 2020 report commissioned by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,  “The Missing Perspectives of Women in News,” found that women’s representation in the news has actually flatlined – if not reversed – in the 21st century.

    Join the International Women’s Media Foundation on May 20 at 3 pm ET for a conversation on the impact this continued marginalization has on global press freedom. Report author Luba Kassova will share the key results of the report, followed by a discussion with Capital B’s Lauren Williams and Bloomberg’s Laura Zelenko, moderated by URL Media’s S. Mitra Kalita.

    This event is sponsored by Bloomberg.
