Notas del editor
- I’m here to sound the alarm. Picture a place where women are seen only 24% of the time.
- That’s what the global news media serves up to us each day.
- It’s like this famously edited Je Suis Charlie rally picture,
- When a conservative Israeli newspaper removed all the women from the image.
- This map illustrates how the world looks when each nation’s size is determined by how much of their news coverage features women.
- And when women are seen and heard, we are often shown as objects or victims. This distortion damages everyone. Research shows we are all less informed and feel more hopeless and cynical when consuming this news. Distorted news also leads to empathy gaps, inequality and declines in health and social well-being overall.
- Add social media to the mix and the empathy gaps increases
- In social media, inhibitions are low, action is easy, and so misinformation, misogyny and harassment can grow like a weed. Distorted news and social media aren’t the only contributors to empathy gaps and misinformation, but we can’t let them off the hook either.
- What can be done? First, how about increasing the level of women in news leadership and feature more women in news coverage! Kudos to Bloomberg News which now insists that at least one women expert is featured on every enterprise journalism story. And at PRI, we’ve made a serious commitment with our Across Women's Lives Initiative. These are just two examples of putting the news back into balance. Second, let's push social media companies to provide tools to help combat misinformation and harassment. And third, let’s take action ourselves by telling and spreading more stories about women and use social media to drive change!
- One of my inspirations is Alanah Pearce, a 21-year-old Australian journalist who reviews video games. She has been harassed online, including rape threats. Her solution?
- When ‘these boys do this to me on Facebook’, I go to their profiles, find their mothers, and send them messages telling them exactly what their sons have said to me.
- It’s 2015 and it’s time that women are shown as the powerful force we are in society! It’s good for women and for men. We’re done allowing traditional news media shape our world! We’re done spreading misinformation and harassing women on social media. Let’s all do our part to hold news organizations and our social discourse to a higher standard. Let’s create an informed world that values ALL of us. Thank you.
