Women in news
Newspapers need women in positions of power and influence if they are to reach out to women readers, according to the Women in Newspapers 2002 report from the US Media Management Center. The Center carries out research and education for media executives worldwide. The full text of the report is in PDF at http://www.mediamanagementcenter.org/center/web/publications/data/WIN2002.pdf.
However, according to the report, The Great Divide: Female Leadership In U.S. Newsrooms, not many women are making it up the ranks, for a range of reasons. See the full report, a joint study carried out by the American Press Institute and the Pew Center for Civic Journalism, at http://www.pewcenter.org/doingcj/research/r_apipewstudy.pdf.
