The MediaGuardian 100 is the annual guide to the most powerful people in the media industry.
A panel of experienced media watchers from the worlds of politics, journalism, advertising and the internet judged entrants using three criteria: cultural influence, economic clout and political power of all candidates.
There are 16 women who are included in the top 100, with most of the list dominated by men. Women take up 16% out of the 100.
Top 3 women -
1. Jay Hunt (No 12 in top 100)
Job: controller, BBC1
Industry: broadcasting
2. Rebekah Brooks (16)
Job: chief executive, News International
Industry: publishing
3. Elisabeth Murdoch (18)
Job: chairman and chief executive, Shine Group
Industry: broadcasting
Because there are only 16 women out of 100 on the list, taking into consideration the jobs they have, it still seems that men are dominanting women. Alongside this women are still being viewed as the subordinate class, making the representation of women both weaker and repressed.
