Women only make up a third of the full-time staff at daily newspapers. They also only make up one-third of the top 100 collective opinion columnists in the United States. The ratio of male to female writers in national “general interest” magazines from 2001 to 2005 was three to one. The bylines in the nation’s top intellectual and political magazines are also overwhelmingly male.
In an analysis of eleven magazines published between October 2003 and May 2005, male-to-female byline ratios varied from thirteen to one at the National Review to seven to one at Harper’s and the Weekly Standard.
- Women as opinion columnists at the eight largest news companies make up fewer than 25 percent.
- Finally, according to data from 2007, 82 percent of Presidents, Publishers, and CEO’s at large newspapers were men,
- 74 percent of Editors, Executive Editors, Senior Vice Presidents, and News Vice Presidents were male,
- 52 percent of all newspaper personnel were male.
Even after almost 300 years of newspapers and news media, men are still dominating the field in every way.
