TV Week is celebrating women in its latest issue, with the release of its inaugural list of Next Gen Women of Australian television.
Curated by TV Week editor, Thomas Woodgate, the 13-page feature is a ‘who’s who’ of the next generation of women set to change the face of Australian television. It showcases 37 women who are leading their field in the industry, from actresses to writers, producers and reality stars.
The article follows Screen Australia’s update to their 2015 Gender Matters initiatives promise, with Australians now seeing women occupy at least 50 per cent of Australia’s creative roles. It also reflects Bauer Media’s Female Future initiative.
“We are very excited to share this incredible group of women with our readers,” Woodgate said. “Australia’s amazing young talent are not only doing us proud on the international stage, but also in our own backyard.
TV WEEK is a passionate supporter of diversity in entertainment, and it’s wonderful to see such a creative group of game changing women leading the charge in this industry. This is the first time we’ve created an issue this special and we hope to continue it in years to come."
