Description
Book SynopsisDespite years of dominating journalism school classrooms across North America, women remain vastly underrepresented at the highest levels of newspaper leadership. Why do so many female journalists leave the industry and so few reach the top?
Trade Review"It should be essential reading for news room managers in all forms of media and should be read by deans and directors of journalism schools, as well as students.' -- Barbara Barnett Journalism - 2016 "I suggest you give Outsiders Still by Vivian Smith as a gift to a journalism student near you, just in case the J-school forgets to put it on her reading list. It may well be the most valuable thing she learns all year." -- Shannon Rupp TheTyee.ca, 22 Aug 2015 "Smith's book should be a must read for everyone with an interest in working in Canadian journalism." -- Catherine McKercher, Professor Emeritus of Journalism, Carlton University j-source.ca, June 22, 2015
