Maybe Ladies Would Rather Be Doing Other Things Than Covering Campaigns

“Today, many of the people who decide which reporters get to cover elections are women.The top editor of the world’s most respected news organization, The New York Times, is a woman. The top editor of Newsweek — still one of the nation’s most widely-read news magazines — is a woman. The top editors of AP and Reuters Thomson Digital — women. And let’s not forget Arianna Huffington…. All of which suggests pretty persuasively that it’s a whole lot easier today for women to get where they want to be in the profession. Which makes me wonder: could it be that at least part of the numbers disparity is because there are just more men than women who want to be campaign reporters?”
 — Yes, I’m sure that’s it.
