A report by the International Women¿s Media Foundation (IWMF) in 2011 on women in the media workforce shows that women are under-represented in the media industry, especially at decision-making level. Throughout the world, media coverage and media images of women.are inadequate and often misleading suggesting that women are doing and saying nothing of importance.
