The Missing Voices of Women
in Music and Music News
How to ensure that the news about women's presence in
the Grammys reflects reality

This report is the fourth in the multi-award-winning Missing Perspectives series of reports. It examines
women’s recognition in the Grammys in the past eight years, comparing the false overly positive narratives
of the Recording Academy and news media with the much grimmer reality of women’s marginalisation as nominees
and winners. It identifies five existing biases that lead to the chasm between reporting and reality and
articulates structural barriers that women face. The report also outlines numerous solutions for ensuring
future accurate reporting of the reality for women in music.
Past Missing Perspectives reports can be found here and here.
