Women remain underrepresented in media in India, holding only 24% of opinion-making positions according to a UNESCO report. However, in metro newspapers, websites and TV channels, women may outnumber men in terms of total employees. Nonetheless, few women make it to top leadership roles. Some positive signs are that women journalists can more easily report from rural areas and are finding success in crowd-funded media projects. The document also profiles some influential women in Indian media, such as Barkha Dutt, Homai Vyarawalla, the first female photojournalist in India, and Ekta Kapoor, a top executive in television.
