I am conducting research for my Personal Interest Project about gender representation and discrimination in Australia’s news media and the perpetuation of this within the journalism industry over time. I would like to inform you that your answers to this questionnaire will remain completely confidential and will not be reported on an individual basis or be used to identify you in any way.

The survey should only take a few minutes. Please answer each question honestly.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
