Anschutz-Owned San Francisco Examiner On an All White Male Hiring Spree

Former San Francisco Examiner writer Erin Sherbert, now with the SF Weekly, has noticed a disturbing trend since she left her former paper. In a newsroom that was already fairly male-centric when she worked there, these days only 8 of 35 editorial staffers are women. The last nine hires have been white men. On top of that, Melissa Griffin, the only female columnist at the paper, has a glowing full body shot to accompany her byline while her male counterparts have the typical gray head shot.
