Making Women Visible And Powerful In The Media Women's Media Center

Rape Culture & Sports Heroes, Washington Post edition

We blogged about the rape allegation against Superbowl-winning Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger earlier today. From a media perspective, it’s also worth noting that the Washington Post convened a panel of ten people to weigh in on whether a news outlet should cover an alleged sexual assault or not. No shock, ten panelists = ten men. Not a single woman’s voice among them. Thanks, Washington Post.
