Men Hold 'Vast Majority' of Top Jobs in Media

http://www.thewrap.com/media/column-post/glass-ceiling-report-men-hold-vast-majority-top-jobs-media-25712

This article talks about how women in the media industry only account for 27% of top media professionals. This is almost half the amount of people in Eastern Europe. There are many reasons that go into this but one interesting aspect that this article brought up is that at the International Women Media Leader's Conference, 75 female executives that will be attending will be voting on a plan to help level the playing field. This is something that many different women in different industries should consider to help women climb the corporate ladder. If the women already in top executive positions took their experiences and advice and created a plan to help other women looking to advance, it might be helpful in giving women ideas and tips as they progress in corporate America. If more women took this approach, women might be more likely to take risks and try and shatter more glass ceilings.
