CNN–not a great place for feminist discourse

lmarshalls Icon Posted by Lucinda Marshall

January 20th, 2007

Gail Dines has an interesting piece on Common Dreams about her recent appearance on CNN to talk about the Duke rape case. Dines makes it clear that she went into this with her eyes wide open, knowing there is a tendency for shows like this to invite feminists on for the primary purpose of […]

Gee, Katie - just noticing this now, are we?
By Guest Blogger Anna Clark
Something was “a little disconcerting” about the Big Time White House Meeting for top journalists that Katie Couric attended last week, immediately before George W. Bush’s recent speech on Iraq.
On her CBS News blog, Couric finally noted what feminist watchdogs have decried […]

An open letter to America Ferrera, star of ABC’s Ugly Betty.
by Guest Blogger Olivia Ortiz
Dear Ms. Ferrera,
I found myself openly weeping with you as you took the stage to accept your Golden Globe award for “Best Actress” on Monday night. From your acceptance speech, I quote: “I hear from young girls on a daily […]

Newsflash: Sexism in Hollywood IS a problem

January 18th, 2007

The New York Daily News has a wonderful, uplifting profile of Plum Pictures, a woman run movie production company. Plum, which produced the highly acclaimed, “The Ground Truth”, will be showing 3 new films at this year’s Sundance Festival. So what’s the problem? Buried in the article is this gem of a […]

jpozners Icon Posted by Jennifer L Pozner

January 18th, 2007

As I noted when I returned from the National Conference on Media Reform, women had a better experience at the 2007NCMR than at the 2005 NCMR, with a particularly passionate panel discussion titled, “There Is No Media Justice Without Women: Models For Feminist Media Action” (listen to the audio of the session here, moderated by […]

Gender as a Media Reform issue

lmarshalls Icon Posted by Lucinda Marshall

January 17th, 2007
