for the Advancement of Women. During last class, we read statistics showing how white male gets most of the jobs in the media world, as oppose to the female. I looked upon the staffs working for Women News Network and found 26 staffs in total. Out of the 26 staffs, 3 are male and the rest are female. And from a diversity standpoint, they are not just all white. They are a fully diverse group. I find this very interesting because this is totally the opposite of what we've read for class. What I see is not a male dominated network but a female dominated network. This might be because it is a women news network but I am glad to have found this. Reading the statistics last class was very upsetting because that is the truth. And now we have a silver lining.
Women News Network is successful because it reaches out to every women in different countries. They talk about issues around the world regarding women standing up for what is right. They report their stories from countries like Bosnia Herzegovina, Europe, United States, Nepal, Jamaica, Yemen, Papua New Guinea, Switzerland and Korea. Their stories are very powerful and compelling. It hits you right in the heart knowing what women have to do every day to fight for their rights.
