Structural, institutional, cultural and historical barriers continue to disadvantage women from ascending into leadership positions in media houses in Kenya. At a meeting organised by the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communications (AKU GSMC) on 4 April, media stakeholders explored ways to ensure better gender distribution at various levels of leadership in media and news organisations. AKU GSMC’s academic Affairs Director, Nancy Booker, said there existed a wide gap in the representation of women in media compared to men.
