What was journalists' association reaction | The AJK considers this a failure by the institution's Board to promote gender equality in RTK, despite its composition being gender equal. RTK should encourage women to apply for managerial roles and give them a voice in decision-making, acknowledging the outstanding contribution they have made over the years to the development of public broadcasting. |
