Eleanor Mills: Women are still portrayed through the lens of an old, male, pale, stale establishment

A new report by Women in Journalism, titled “The Tycoon and the Escort: The business of portraying women in newspapers”, shines a light on the extent to which British media offer a maledominated interpretation of society. The title refers to the description used in the coverage of the murder by a businessman of his lover, which “could easily have been the Failing Businessman and the Entrepreneur”, as the report reads. Sunday Times Editorial Director Eleanor Mills speaks to Tena Prelec about the findings of the study.
