WIFV’s podcast, Media & Monuments got a shout out in a recent Equity Highlights from the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. The Institute’s email newsletter highlighted the podcast’s second episode of its third season in which host Candice Bloch had a conversation with the Institute’s president and CEO, Madeline Di Nonno. The two discuss the Institute’s mission, the valuable research and data they collect, and how that data is used to help reveal bias and create more equality. While it began with a focus on gender – “if she can see it, she can be it” – the Institute now focuses on gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, disability, age 50+, and body type. Listen to “Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media” to hear more about the progress that’s been made in representation, and areas that still need to see improvement. You can learn more about this amazing Institute, their media bias research tools, and more at seejane.org. Our weekly Media & Monuments podcast is created by Communication Committee members Sandra Abrams, Candice Bloch, Brandon Ferry, Tara Jabbari, Emma Klein, and Steve Lack and is available on all podcast platforms as well as at wifv.org/podcast
