The 2024 WIN Leadership Mapping Report, released this week and based on data from 207 media organizations in 19 countries, shows that women now occupy 24% of leadership roles, an improvement from 21% in 2022.
However, the path to gender parity remains long and uneven.
Regional insights
Women’s representation in top editorial leadership roles, such as editor-in-chief or executive editor, stagnated at 30% from 2022 to 2024, despite the number of women in these roles increasing from 52 to 60.
In contrast, men in editorial leadership rose from 122 to 143, reinforcing the gender gap. Among the 50 organizations that changed editorial leads, 36 continued to appoint men, underscoring the persistence of gender bias.
