According to Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center, a nonprofit working to ensure women are powerfully and visibly represented in the media, women are underrepresented at critical positions: "Of particular concern is the gender gap at the wires, whose stories are picked up by news outlets across the country. Media tells us what is important and who matters, and when the wires assign 69 percent of the stories to men, the message is clear where women stand."
