BBC director general George Entwistle has called for the station's early morning on-air gender imbalance to change from: The Guardian, by Dan Sabbagh, John Plunkett and Ami Sedghi
Fewer than one in five people appearing on Radio 4's Today programme are women – a proportion that underlines why this month new BBC director general George Entwistle used his first week in the job to call for the station's early morning on-air gender imbalance to change. An average of 18.5% of reporters and guests appearing on Today were female, according to Guardian research, as measured over four weeks in June and July. That is only up marginally from the 16.6% recorded in a similar period in 2011, the first time the gender divide was analysed. |
