“HISTORY WILL be kind to me, for I intend to write it,” said Winston Churchill. Those who describe events are seldom unbiased. Which is why it matters that those who write the first draft of history today are so disproportionately male.
According to a recent report by the Women’s Media Centre, a pressure group, of coverage by 28 American news outlets in late 2017, men received 63% of bylines and TV credits—one percentage point higher than their share the previous year. Men enjoy similarly out-sized influence on social media: a study published in the International Journal of Press/Politics found that male journalists have twice as many Twitter followers as their female colleagues do.
The size of the gender gap varies widely by publication. At USA Today, just 31% of bylines credited women. Conversely, a few online outlets, including the Huffington Post and Vox, managed to achieve gender parity in bylines, as did the website of MSNBC, a cable network whose political coverage leans to the left.
Haha oh brother. Not even gonna start on this source of this data. U can extrapolate whatever you want. Data is there to be manipulated-any bias from this source?
