Women and the News:
The Women's Page to the Front Page:
Throughout history, journalism was largely a man's world. For the most part, women in the news media were relegated to lower-rung jobs, working for less pay than most men. The movement of women into the workplace that began during World War II took full bloom in the 1970s. No longer would a female journalist be content to work on the "society pages" or be a "weather girl." Women moved front and center -- to Page One and the anchor slot. |
