The Media Guardian 100, the annual power list of the most influential people in the media, has seen its first ever woman enter the top ten. Sun editor Rebekah Wade - who replaced David Yelland at the tabloid at the beginning of the year - is one of 19 women in this year's Media Guardian 100, the highest number since the survey began in 2001.
Female TV executives in the top 30 include Dawn Airey, the managing director of Sky Networks; Eileen Gallagher, the chairwoman of Pact and managing director of Shed Productions; and the BBC director of television, Jana Bennett.
