Our Diversity & Excellence Summit 2 brought together organizations working to nurture and boost the next generation of media talent. In this session we talk with Rise about the state of bringing more women into broadcast roles.

Rise is one of the top organizations in the media industry working to mentor women and get them into broadcast roles. In this session, Rise’s Deborah Cross and Carla Maroussas talk about the ongoing challenge of creating a fair and equal workplace, and how organizations that help support women, while being praised verbally, aren’t getting enough practical, real world support.
