On Friday night, more than 500 industry representatives attended Doltone House in James Bay Wharf to celebrate B&T Magazine’s Women In Media Awards 2018.
Hosted by SBS World News presenter, Janice Petersen, this year’s awards produced a record number of entries.
“Equality, inclusion and optimism have been three things we have held dear at The Misfits since we founded the company four years ago. Equality not only is the moral thing to do – it’s smart business practice,” B&T editor-in-chief and owner of its publishing house, The Misfits, David Hovenden said. “The same goes for inclusion. It’s only when we make a space where everyone’s voice is heard that we can make a society everyone is happy to be a part of.
Finally, optimism stems from our belief that we’ve come a long way and moved forward in leaps and bounds. We’re committed to playing our part to ensure we continue to focus on what’s right within this industry to overcome what’s wrong.”
