Technology has revolutionised how we get our news. Data visualisation and multimedia are increasingly used to tell stories, and coding is no longer just for computer scientists. But when it comes to working with digital technology, in most newsrooms men outnumber women. Why are men still dominating this field? And what does it take for women to get ahead? In this episode, four women from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and North America talk about how they beat the odds to work with technology -- and why it’s so important for women to aim for these positions and bring new perspectives into the world of tech. In this episode: - Mariana Santos (twitter.com/marysaints), founder, Chicas Poderosas (chicaspoderosas.org/), training women in digital media and leadership skills across Latin America - Catherine Gicheru (twitter.com/cgicheru1), ICFJ Knight Fellow, co-founder PesaCheck, founding editor The Star Kenya (https://www.the-star.co.ke), and at the time of the interview, senior programme manager Code for Africa, Kenya - Chayma Mehdi (twitter.com/chaymamehdi), head of the Innovation Lab, Inkyfada, Tunis, Tunisia (inkyfada.com/en) - Sonali Verma (twitter.com/Sonali Verma), senior product manager of analytics, Globe and Mail, Toronto, Canada (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/) This season of The Backstory is produced in partnership with Wan-Ifra’s Women in News programme, a ground-breaking effort to promote gender equality throughout the news industry. For resources and tips visit Wan-Ifra's press freedom page (www.wan-ifra.org/microsites/press-freedom) and the WIN page (www.womeninnews.org/) The Backstory production team is Andrew Heslop, Mariona Sanz and Colette Davidson.
