The Guardian

We listened to a podcast in media through the Guardian which was about how women are represented in the media, it did show a lot of womens lack in the media.
We found out through this podcast that;
78% of articles are wrote by men.
84% men are on the radio - current affairs.
Through the podcast then the people talking thought that this could be because women can be less likely to push to get a chance to go on these radio shows. Also the hours through the media are very anti-family so women are less likely to be able to appear.
This shows that women are clearly not in the media as much as they should be.

When looking at mine and Nicole's film then our main character is also a boy, this wasn't on purpose but it just shows men are usually in the media and are more overpowering, however we do have another character who is a girl so our film is balanced but the main character is also still a boy.
