Hundreds of top female journalists in Germany are demanding the introduction of a quota to ensure at least 30% of all executive positions across the whole German media industry are filled by women.

In a letter sent to around 250 editors and publishers across the country, the signatories from the Pro Quote campaign claimed that at present only 2% of all editor-in-chiefs of 360 German daily and weekly newspapers are women. Just three of the 12 bosses of the public service broadcasters are women, said the letter, with the highest echelons of news magazines are "almost exclusively" filled by men.
