Lan Yang: A Window Onto the World

In every field — business, politics, science, tech, and sport — women are breaking barriers in unprecedented numbers. As more women have taken up careers than at any time in our history, are women experiencing a "moment,” or have the pressures for gender equality and compensation finally achieved results? This month’s episode of The Bridge is from the “Breaking Barriers: Women Defining Leadership” session at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, CO. In this session, remarkable leaders from diverse backgrounds shared their views on what it means to break barriers. This Bridge episode features host Peggy Clark’s, Vice President of the Aspen Institute and Executive Director of the Aspen Global Innovators Group, conversation with Lan Yang, the co-founder and chairperson of Sun Media Group and Sun Culture Foundation. She has been known as the “Oprah of Chinese media.”  Download the final episode of Season 2 of The Bridge, recorded live from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, CO in June, to hear Lan discuss her groundbreaking leadership as a woman in the Chinese media industry.
