Why is women’s representation declining in Pakistan’s newsrooms, and what can be done to bring more women into media leadership?

Dr. Arsha Saleem Meer, Executive Producer at Aik News HD Lahore, Broadcast & Digital Media Expert, and Senior Lecturer at Lahore College for Women University, shares her perspective on the challenges facing women in Pakistan’s media industry.

With nearly 12 years of experience in media, Dr. Arsha emphasizes the importance of family support, academic guidance, institutional backing, and organizational encouragement in helping women build successful careers in journalism and digital media.

She also challenges traditional perceptions of women’s leadership, asking: if women can manage households and make countless important decisions every day, why can’t they lead newsrooms and media organizations?

Dr. Arsha further highlights the importance of Training of Trainers (ToT) and student training in preparing the next generation of media professionals for an increasingly digital world. She appreciates the Women Media Center’s efforts to strengthen the skills and confidence of students and educators across Pakistan.

Watch the complete conversation and hear why increasing women’s representation in media leadership is essential for a stronger and more inclusive media industry.
