Today's episode see's guests Margaret E. Ward and Louise Bruton delve into Womxn in Media & Journalism with your host Linda Coogan Byrne.

The media should be a reflective mirror of society, not a distorting lens. What if the journalists reporting and the editors/producers making the decisions are unrepresentative of the audience they serve? Will distortions inevitably be the result?
