MEAA is calling for audits and action on the gender pay gap; improved procedures to deal with social media harassment; and anti-discrimination policies to be put into practice.
The survey was developed by the national steering committee of Women in Media, backed by the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance, researcher Beverley Uther, and iSentia. It collected data from 1054 Australian journalists between September and December 2015, with 91.8% of the respondents being women.
