Media’s Tipping Point
In newsrooms (and many living rooms) across the country, discussion about our media’s portrayal of women is front and center. Rampant through out TV and radio with live streamed shows, on air talent’s physical “Barbiefied” looks have become standard, if not required upon hiring, and not surprisingly of her male counterparts. Age, size, height, bust, skin color, legs, face, and hair style leads her vetting process, shamefully placing her journalistic prowess behind, “but does she look good??” Sadly bowing to misaligned decision makers keeps the lights on, at least for now.
