FIFTY FIFTY TAKES CENTRE STAGE!

TF1’s in-house mixed network has organised its first event on the theme of the male/female balance in the media, in collaboration with the Professional Women's Network (PWN). The Group’s CEO, Gilles Pélisson, introduced the evening: “TF1 is an iconic Group in terms of respect, exemplarity, and diversity. We have a vital role to play in society. Our mission and our raison d’être are to share positive energy, but with the aim of representing French society as it is today. There is still work to be done to improve the status of women in the media, and TF1 has a role to play in changing mindsets. I will be thrilled to drive our performance in these areas forwards inside the Group.”

Two hours, and two round tables*, where two journalist hosts (Isabelle Gounin Lévy and Nicolas Rossignol) and dozens of media professionals debated fair representation of women and their image in programming, and the commitment to combating both stereotypes and sexist prejudices. Catherine Nayl, Head of Information at TF1 and patron of Fifty Fifty, brought the evening to a close.
