Nation Media Foundation hosted a high-level listening and ideas roundtable to explore a critical question: What would an information ecosystem that genuinely and consistently sees, includes and serves women look like?

The roundtable brought together women from across the information ecosystem, creating a platform for open dialogue and an opportunity to hear directly about their experiences with the media and the wider information landscape. Discussions explored areas where progress has been made, gaps that persist and the changes needed to ensure women are more meaningfully represented, included and engaged.

Insights from the session will help inform Nation Media Group’s approach to moving beyond measuring how frequently women appear in the news to identifying practical interventions that strengthen their participation in shaping information, narratives and public conversations. Ultimately, the goal is to foster an information ecosystem in which women have a stronger voice and play a more active role in shaping how society understands itself and makes decisions.
