Marty Perez at the New Republic has selected a different […]

I have always wondered how television producers come up with all those ‘new’ holiday specials every year, but over at Fox it appears they are fresh out of ideas. This year, the Rupert
Murdoch-owned Fox Broadcasting will kick off the season with a 2 (count ‘em 2) night special on Nov. 27 and 29th […]

Below is a cross-post from my new blog, Sheroes:
This week’s issue of Time Magazine’s Asian edition has a special section on “60 Years of Asian Heroes”. Not surprisingly the annoited heroes are disproportionately male. And most of the women listed are predictable–Corazon Aquino, Aung San Suu Kyi, Maxine Hong Kingston, Mother Theresa. […]

Now that the Democrats hold the majority in both houses of Congress, it’ll be interesting to watch how the media cover women in government as the latter assume new powers. For example, coverage of Rep. Nancy Pelosi has increased now that she’s poised to become Speaker of the House. What I’ve read so […]

What happens when ABC’s Elizabeth Vargas — herself central in a big media ruckus this spring over motherhood and the glass ceiling when she relinquished her network’s nightly news anchor chair — returns to work? She does her first post-maternity leave story on the network’s news magazine show 20/20 […]

Election night boys’ club
The New York Times’ Alessandra Stanley noticed the same thing I did on Tuesday night: Apparently the news networks think only men can analyze election returns.
As a commenter here noted, Katie Couric’s presence made CBS slightly better on this front than other networks. But Stanley breaks it […]

Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (GEMS), an excellent non-profit girls group which I have had the pleasure of working with when they attended one of WIMN’s media trainings, just learned today that they are finalists in a Current TV competition for […]

So some minor Greek goddesses say, Tweety being Chris Matthews. Those same goddesses add that a large yellow head is not among the first ten items on the list of things that make men hawt.
