Journalism and Women's Work

Dr. Carol Rogers of the University of Maryland College of Journalism recently talked to us about women and minorities in the media. When we did the newspaper activity - looking at bylines and sources quoted on the front page of The Washington Post - it made me think about gender and journalism.

Katharine Weymouth, chief executive officer of Washington Post Media, runs a news company in a male-dominated field. Yet women - even at her newspaper - often don't make the front pages, either as writers or sources.
