Real majority, media minority

the costs of sidelining women in reporting

Author: Laura Flanders
ISBN: 9781567510904

While some women have become multi-million dollar earners, the perspectives of most women are still sidelined, Flanders documents. And that's not just sexism, she says - it's bad reporting.Real Majority, Media Minority gathers together into one collection almost ten years of Flanders extraordinary essays and interviews analyzing the structure and habits of commercial news media. In an eloquent argument, she says it's time to go beyond simple "bean counting." "What's critical isn't who's telling the story, but how the story's being told."
