Intersectionality is obviously important, but my area of expertise is gender and that's specifically what I've been asked to speak on. (I'm actually talking to journalists in Malaysia, and I'm not even going to pretend that I understand the intersectional issues that need to be addressed there, and would rather not make assumptions.) 

Many of the tactics that can be brought to bear to improve gender balance can also be used to improve representation along other axes of diversity, of course.

Hi Suw,

 

I wonder if maybe a more intersectional approach would be preferable?

 

Journalism would benefit from an increase of diversity across multiple characteristics, not just gender.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Gender diversity in journalism

 

Hi all, 

 

I'm giving a talk in a few weeks on gender diversity in journalism, running through the stats, what journalist are doing to increase the number of expert female voices in their stories, and what can be done from a hiring point of view. I'm away of Ed Yong's great piece from last year: 

 

 

And I was just wondering what measures other folks take to increase the number of female voices, and to make sure that women aren't portrayed as victims (as they mostly are in news media). 

 

I'd love your thoughts on the matter! 

 

Suw
