Talk to me.
I mean it. The issues addressed on this blog — gender roles, media stereotypes, the influence of technology on journalism– are big and complex. Making sense of them will require an open, diverse conversation. To get us started, I put together a video that ponders one of the bigger questions on my mind lately: If most journalism students are female, why are women chronically underrepresented in newsrooms?
For more on the statistics referenced, read this post from earlier this year.
Thank you to the students who sat for interviews… and to the campus Dunks for handing over an extra plastic cup without any questions.
