Verity Firth in conversation with Francesca Donner

In the lead up to International Women’s Day, Verity Firth, Executive Director Social Justice at UTS, was in conversation with Francesca Donner, Director of the Gender Initiative at the New York Times.

Hosted by the Centre for Media Transition and Online News Association Australia, and in the long shadow of the global #MeToo movement, Donner discussed how the Gender Initiative aims to elevate gender issues. With an aim to amplify diverse women’s voices, lead the public conversation around women and gender issues globally, and engage female readers with The New York Times – her task is huge.
