Where Are The Women?

 

How many times have you scanned a list of "bests" and wondered why women are missing from roll calls of the highest paying jobs in publishing, PR, journalism, marketing and digital? Too many to count. NYWICI monitors the blogosphere for you, reads annual reports and scrutinizes media outlets to find out where the women are, where they aren't and why. Send us your suggestions and share statistics and links on inequities in your field.
