Media 100: What is it?

Media 100 is a list of the top 100 people in the Media Industry, including: Television, Radio, Press & publishing, Digital media, Media business, and Advertising Marketing & PR.

The members have been added to the list due to their political, economical and cultural input to society and the idustry.

Only 18 members of the media 100 are female (18%).

Female Jobs: Controller, Chief exectutive, Chairman, Director, Chief exectutive, Controller of film and drama,chairman and chief executive, corporate marketing director and head of marketing, director of vision, chairman and chief executive, chief executive, controller, editor, head of E4, digital champion, co-founder/chief executive and actor.

This suggests that women still are subordinated in the elite society, by dominant males forcing them to gain limited recognition by society for their political, economical and cultural input. This would be in favour of the hergemony theory and would implying women are misrepresented in the list.
