Spotlight: Women's Media Center

Every now and then, I’m reminded of the better things in life:  a cold beer, a kiss from a puppy, and the growing strength of women in power positions in media.  When I first started college, a large number of my journalism classmates were boys – and all but one of my professors was a man.  It’s not because women were scared to go into the field, but because many of us saw that most of the best known and celebrated news anchors and reporters were men, that many of my peers who had expressed interest in journalism and ended up in advertising…ended up in advertising.

Like in many professional kitchens, it’s a man’s world, this media career.  The heads of news outlets, editors of newspapers, etc. tend to be men.  So when I saw that the Women’s Media Center is not only continuing its advocacy in the fight against gender inequality, but now has a new president with a broad scope of knowledge about social media to aid in that cause, I was elated.

Former Rock the Vote head Jehmu Greene, a frequent commentator on CNN, MSNBC, and other networks, has taken the reins at this organization founded by Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Robin Morgan.  With the aim of “breaking down barriers and leading the way to make sure that women's voices are powerfully represented in the ever-changing media landscape," says Greene, the WMC is taking steps toward equal representation in media, and gender equality worldwide through that cause.
