RESOURCES
Empowering under-represented voices
PressPad believes in advocating and sharing under-represented voices as well as resources to empower more people from disadvantaged backgrounds to help you get into the media industry and stay there! We publish a range of content from reports and analysis to first person accounts.
We also believe that learning, being open and humble is a life-long pursuit and it’s an element of what unites our ambassadors, host-mentors and supporters as we all push to continue to improve the media industry and the positive contribution journalism makes to our society. So if you’re a mentor, media exec or DEI expert there is plenty here for you too.
