Women as Contributors
Women working full-time in daily newspapers total about 15,200 or 36.62 percent of the staff. Minority women accounted for 16.3 percent of female newsroom staffers. Both percentages have declined about one percent point since 2008. [The American Society of News Editors, 2010]
Sources for News
Out of 16,800 news stories from 45 different American news outlets—broadcast, print and Web—more than 75% of news stories included male sources and only 30 percent included even a single female source. Only in lifestyle stories do women show up in more than 50 percent of the stories. [The Global Media Monitoring Project, 2010]
