LightRay Media, a media and communications firm is set to host a leadership summit to empower women in the media sector.

The summit, themed “100 Women in Leadership Virtual Summit,” is scheduled to be held on October 6, 2023 at 11:00 am. 

In a statement, the organisation said the goal of the event is to empower women in media and to position them on a path to success.

The statement partly reads, “As passionate communications practitioners, women have played an integral role in shaping the landscape of media in Nigeria. 

“The Nigerian Constitution, in sections 22 and 29, recognizes their vital contributions as members of the Fourth Estate. 

“However, the unique needs and challenges faced by women in media and its ecosystem often go unaddressed, hindering their pursuit of equity, equality, inclusivity, and advancement. 

“The “100 Women in Leadership Virtual Summit” is a resounding response to these challenges. LightRay Media is extending an invitation to women across the media spectrum not to miss this exceptional opportunity. 

The summit promises a transformative experience, providing participants with a range of benefits: Female reporters, whether in broadcast, print, online, or digital media, will gain valuable insights into assuming leadership roles within their newsrooms.

“Attendees will learn how to enhance their coverage and reporting of women and the girl child in the news, fostering more inclusive and informed narratives.”
