Geena Davis Convenes Third Symposium on Gender in Media
Institute Will Present New Study on Gender Roles and Occupations in Media From USC Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 --
The Symposium will bring together leading CEOs, executives and content creators from both commercial and public television, and feature and documentary film, to showcase best practices on how to increase representation and create diverse portrayals of women and girls in popular media.
"The results of this groundbreaking study will center the day's conversation on how female characters are portrayed, and dramatically absent from critical career occupations such as politics, corporate leadership and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers. This data will provide great insights on opportunities for the entertainment community to greatly influence and inspire our children to consider non-stereotypical career paths," said Ms. Davis.
In addition, the event will include two panels; one featuring executives from children's film and TV programming, and a second panel focusing on the representation of women in general audience TV and Film programming, featuring content creators and creative executives.
The event is co-presented with -- the Independent Television Service and its Women and Girls Lead campaign, and Variety, along with other partners.
