Women Under Represented in Media

[SOURCE: Ms Magazine]
The White House Project has released an analysis of the continuing dearth of female voices in mainstream media, focusing on Sunday morning talk shows. According to the report, titled Who's Talking Now, women compose only 14 percent of guests on these shows, up from the 11 percent representation found in a 2001 report. The 2005 report notes that "the absence of women on the Sunday shows matters…It perpetuates the invisibility of female leaders, it limits the scope of our national political debates and it leaves women under-represented and undervalued as citizens of our democracy."
