'Women in News' is the initiative of WAN-IFRA that aims to increase women's leadership and voice in news. It hopes to address head on the issues of women in newsrooms, in order to initiate a dialogue that aims at better gender diversity and equality in newsrooms. The panel on 18 September will discuss:

• What are the largest issues that need to be addressed regarding women in newsrooms?
• What happens when women take on decision making or leadership roles in newsrooms?
• It doesn’t begin and end with hiring and retention of women journalists – we need to bring balance to women as source and subject of stories. How do we achieve that?
• What has been the REAL impact of the #MeToo movement in newsrooms - on the rampant sexism in newsrooms? What are the HR practices, amendments to Vishakha guidelines that are needed now?
• How do we address the trolling against women journalists head on?
