SCOTLAND’S creative industries and media leadership positions are dominated by white men - the findings of a new report have confirmed.
Across a variety of industries from arts, culture, news, festivals and digital industries, women and people of colour are still continually underrepresented, a report by the Equal Media & Culture Centre for Scotland has found.
There are three female chief executives out of 13 major sporting bodies, and of 138 board and council positions, women make up 38% of those roles. CEO’s of 39 digital marketing, advertising and PR firms in Scotland were all white, with 71% men and 29% women. However, nearly half feature no people of colour, and 71% have no women of colour represented on their boards.
