Why Is It So Tough to Cover ‘The 51 Percent?’: The need for gender journalism. In 2023, many media players are still a long way from gender parity in news and current affairs coverage. So what constructive steps still need to be taken to correct this gap?

Extracts from this debate will be broadcast as part of the special show for the anniversary.
