They noted, however, that people living with disabilities still found it hard to find a job and to work in a newsroom. Panellists also concurred that the profile of employees in the media adequately represented the different groups in society, including those who are still not accepted in society; e.g. homosexuals. In terms of age, panellists believed that people of different ages could be found in newsrooms. They added, however, that on the gender front, most editors were men.
