Media Talk podcast: mind the gender gap

As Women in Journalism publishes a new report revealing a shocking – but not surprising – lack of women in Fleet Street, we do a gender test on the whole media industry.

What needs to change? Who's doing it right? The Guardian's women's editor, Jane Martinson, is joined by Chris Burns (Sound Women), Kate Kinninmont (Women in Film & TV) and Media Talk alumnus Emily Bell to discuss all these questions and more.

The new BBC director general, George Entwistle, wants more women fronting programmes – but says he doesn't have the power to change the situation. Is "nudging" programme makers the only way to equality?

Plus, as is the tradition, we'll have Vicky Frost reviewing the best TV of the week.
