>The digital revolution and a turbulent 21st 
>century political and economic landscape have 
>contributed to a dramatic upheaval in the media 
>landscape. The new digital economy is radically 
>re-writing the artistic, technological, 
>political, regulatory and economic landscape of 
>Canada. In this era of perpetual technological 
>transformation and massive corporate 
>consolidation, why have the previous gains made 
>by women begun to flat-line? This gathering 
>explores the empirical and theoretical reasons 
>why the position of women may even be said to be 
>deteriorating. Women continue to be seriously 
>under-represented both behind the camera and on 
>screen in the media industry around the world. 
>At the same time, the boom of social media, 
>increased flexibility and an emphasis on 
>creative skills are promising unprecedented opportunities for women.

>equitable media landscape for the 21st century.
