Tired of seeing token female participation, if any, on leadership panels at media conferences? Yeah, us too. That’s why at Storyology this year our version of that panel was 100% women. Here’s some frank talk about how to get more women and people of color at the top from four badass women:
- Kara Swisher, head of Recode and a formidable tech journalist based in the U.S.
- Marina Go, who ran Hearst Bauer Media until recently and just published “Break Through: 20 Success Strategies For Female Leaders”
- Yassmin Abdel-Magied, a social activist and oil rig engineer
- Michelle Guthrie, general manager of the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Conversations from Storyology is a WalkleyTalks podcast miniseries featuring the best bits from our 2016 journalism conference.
