At every gathering of journalists, what you hear from the host is the phrase 'gentlemen of the press' when addressing the media even when there are ladies in their midst. This phrase underscores a long-standing issue in the journalism industry: the persistent gender imbalance that continues to affect the representation of women within the field. Despite the significant strides made by women in media, they still find themselves facing challenges that hinder their advancement. Issues such as gender inequalities and under-representation in senior leadership roles are prevalent, with many decision-making positions still viewed as the birthrights of men.

Our mission is to support and uplift the voices of women in journalism, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the industry. This commitment is reflected in our celebration of the women who make up our newsroom, showcasing their talents and resilience in a traditionally male-dominated space.
