NPR Bucks Media Boys' Club Trend

Even though more than 70 percent of journalism grads over the past decade have been women, the media business is still mostly a boys’ club. As we told you last month, a recent Women’s Media Center study found that less than a quarter of media jobs are staffed by women. Perhaps the lone exception to the rule? NPR. Nearly half of NPR’s staff are women and women are in charge of five of the top seven news programs.
