Book Description

ISBN-10: 0231074174 | ISBN-13: 978-0231074179 | Publication Date: October 15, 1990 | Edition: Morningside ed

This unique book combines a brief, comprehensive history of women in the American newspaper business over the last one hundred years with a sharp assessment of their present status. Kay Mills describes how today's women journalists have reached their present positions and argues that the increased presence of women reporters is having an important impact on the kind of news that appears in daily papers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An important contribution to our awareness of the contemporary condition, not only by reporting on the state of women in American newspapers, but by reminding us...that news organizations not only report 'what's happening in the larger society, (but) reflect what's happening' as well.

(Martin Linsky Los Angeles Times Book Review )

[Kay Mills] provides an excellent history of women working in the newspaper field...
