TJFR Business News Reporter 2.0: Women Exerting More Influence in Business Journalism

November 25, 2007

Women Exerting More Influence in Business Journalism

Like sports journalism, business journalism was long the near-exclusive bastion of male reporters. With a few notable exceptions -- such as Carol J. Loomis of Fortune and syndicated personal finance columnist Sylvia Porter -- few women before the 1970s merited a byline in the eyes of their male editors.

Well, brothers and sisters, the times they have a-changed.

At some influential news organizations, the number of female editorial business news staffers today surpasses that of men. Moreover, slowly, but surely, women are taking the reins at a growing number of influential business news outlets. Consider our list -- in progress -- below. We welcome your suggestions for additional names to include.

I have developed a simple one-page blog that helps unsuspecting
jobseekers weed out the predatory career marketing firms from the
legitimate performers. It’s at http://redlightwarning.blogspot.com

Please feel free to print the article contained there titled HOW TO
DISTINGUISH BAD FROM GOOD CAREER MARKETING FIRMS AND SAVE THOUSANDS
(and plesase let me know if you do).

I would very much appreciate it if you would publish it as a public
service to unsuspecting job seekers who are losing thousands in
fraudulent schemes. I worked in the career marketing business for
several years and I know the business and how devestating the impact
can be on unsuspecting and vulnerable clients.

Thank you,
