I was happy to see the great coverage Poynter gave to the research that Lance and I did about female firsts in newspaper management. Our article "Taking Chances and Making Changes: The Career Paths and Pitfalls of Pioneering Women in Newspaper Management" is in this summer's issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly.
We looked at the careers of Gloria Biggs,Carol Sutton and Janet Chusmir. They all began their careers in the women's pages of newspapers. That is a photo of Carol above.
The Huff Post had a great post looking at Carol's demotion and Jill Abramson's firing at the New York Times.
I will be speaking about issues involving women in newspaper management at the SPJ-sponsored convention Excellence in Journalism in September.
