Gender pay gap: Pay disparity increases at third of UK media companies as Economist remains worst offender
Almost a third of UK media companies have seen their gender pay gaps increase (in favour of men) on the year before, new figures reveal in a Press Gazette analysis.
Press Gazette analysis shows the pay gap increased at 11 news organisations, decreased at 22 of them (but still favoured men), stayed the same at one, while two increased in favour of women.
The biggest increase was at Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones, where the median gender pay gap has risen from 19.6 per cent to 28.3 per cent.
