Do We Still Need Feminist Media?

DO WE STILL NEED FEMINIST MEDIA?
[SOURCE: AlterNet, AUTHOR: L.S. Kim, Ms. Magazine]
[Commentary] Thirty-five years ago, as the second wave of the 20th-century U.S. feminist movement burst into action, women were all but shut out of newsrooms, press clubs, editorial boards and broadcasting booths. Women did the research; men got the bylines. Feminists were determined to be included, and to change the media. They wanted to counter and correct the mainstream news -- and start their own press(es). Today, women are writers, producers, anchors, editors and publishers at every important newspaper, news magazine, television network, and local TV and radio station. So in an era in which women seem to have integrated into the mainstream, do we still need feminist media? More than ever.
