Here's the truth; while women own fewer than 11% of all media platforms and comprise just 39% of newsroom staff – DAME is women-owned, women-written, and women-run. Politics, society, and culture, through OUR lens. We have so many great stories in the works for DAME in the new year. Here's a sneak peek: - If there's one issue that impacts working women most, it's the childcare crisis in the United States. From culture to technology to policy, we'll be exploring the challenges and solutions on the horizon.
- We'll take a look at the women candidates most likely to flip the Senate in 2020.
- We're developing a series on the long-term effect of the Trump administration's attack on scientific research and the impact on our health, our communities, and our planet.
- In one of our most ambitious investigations, we'll be producing a 4-part editorial package on our most valuable resource: water. We'll be exploring corruption, the impact of climate change, how racism impacts access, and new technologies that hold solutions.
And many other features are in the works, including The Science of Sex Tech, Women Who Change Careers Later in Life, and The Challenge of Navigating Our Social Security System. But, we can't do any of this without you. I've done the math, and we need 20% of our DAME's readers to also be members in order to keep going in 2020. We're at just 9.1% right now, so that's a big gap. It's no secret -- this is an awful time for news media. In just the last year alone, over 1,000 journalists have lost their job - and dozens of important, independent outlets have shuttered. It's a precarious moment for DAME. DAME is also one of the few truly independent outlets out there. Because we rely on the support of our members, we have the freedom to publish what our readers want, unconstrained by outside corporate or venture influence. As we head into a new decade -- in which a free and vigorous press is more essential than ever -- I'm asking for your support. Become a member of DAME right now. Wishing you every good thing for 2020. Yours, Jennifer Reitman, Publisher and Founder DAME Independent, women-owned and run media |
