I had read a list of contenders and several of the front runners were women, and I thought, hooray, it's about time the beeb was run by a woman. But now it's yet another man. And not only that, but when I look on the BBC news website the article about the reaction from 'media commentators' gives quotes from NINE sources - guess how many of these were women? ONE. Even more bloody depressing. I mean, I could understand it if the job of top particle physicist was taken by a man, but this is MEDIA ffs, women are strong in this field. Why aren't 50% of the most senior roles at the national broadcasting institution, which is publicly funded, held by women? There's no bloody excuse. This is not 1972. Grrr.
