The world of broadcasting and communications is changing rapidly. Television, film, music, radio and publishing companies are being absorbed into ever larger corporations, while telecommunications and

Women make up only 13% of the top executives of media, telecom and e-companies and only 9% of their boards of directors. And these figures could actually overstate women’s participation in top-level
decision-making – of all the executives included in this analysis, only 3% were women with ‘Clout Titles’.
