It’s been 20 years, but things haven’t changed as much as we might expect. A new report by the Women’s Media Center found that male reporters still accounted for 63 percent of bylines in the nation’s top 10 papers and about the same proportion of newsroom staff. All but one of the individual winners of Pulitzer Prizes in journalism this year were male.

Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, said that research she had done as part of “Name It, Change It,” a nonpartisan project to end sexist coverage of female candidates, found that while sexist coverage hurt female politicians, responding to it could benefit them. Sometimes, even the mere hint of sexism is enough to hurt the candidate perpetrating the language.”

The shooting, as it happens, came shortly after the Women’s Media Center released its report, “The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2014.”The snapshot taken in the last quarter of 2013 found men still had almost two-thirds of all bylines and on-camera appearances in the major newspapers, television networks, newswire services and online news sites. We have seen notable improvements over the years, but the report points to “a troubling status quo and, in some places, a slipping back in time.”

Yet it’s clearly a journalism-industry gender moment when six men press a White House official on the same point and end up with the same answer from the man in front of them. Last week’s report from the Women’s Media Center on the status of women in American journalism found continued dominance by men in the flagship TV news programs (ABC News, NBC News, CBS News and PBS): They anchored 60 percent of news broadcasts and delivered 66 percent of reports, as judged during the final quarter of 2013. Bylines at Reuters and AP, too, favored men by a 68 to 32 percent and 57 to 43 percent, respectively.

“When media are overwhelmingly male (and still, alas, over-whelmingly white), they just aren’t anywhere near as good as they could be,” said Geneva Overholser, a Women’s Media Center board member, Pulitzer Prize-winning editor and former ombudsman for The Washington Post in a statement.

Women get fewer bylines in print and online and less time on air than men by a considerable margin, a new study by the Women’s Media Center finds. The report, The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2014, was released today revealing that men receive 63 percent of byline credits in print, Internet and wire news.
