Women account for more than half of TV reporters (58 percent) and such middle managers as executive producers (55 percent), news producers (66 percent) and news writers (56 percent).
"Young men are just not interested," says Allen, who runs the broadcast news program at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. "There's been almost an evacuation of men from this field."
News managers look on these numbers with a mixture of pride and mild alarm. Pride because decades of equal-opportunity employment rules, inclusive hiring policies and viewer acceptance of diversity have opened up what had once been a preserve of men, and primarily white men. But concern, too, since the male exodus threatens the traditional anchor model, in which a male-female duo is sitting at the head of a symbolic nuclear family. There is also some debate about whether the "feminization" of the newsroom has led to a more female-oriented news agenda.

"...a male-female duo is sitting at the head of a symbolic nuclear family."
Does anyone ever see anchorpeople this way? I can think of few things a nuclear family is less like than a newsroom.
Info babes beat metrosexuals every time. Mascara, nail polish, rouge and makeup look better on females than pretty boys.
Mainly a bunch of Mary Mapes wannabees.
Not necessarily....
FOX has the cutest bunch of ladies and it is part of their secret.
Constant pleasure - even during hard news!
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Over the last number of weeks...numerous news items, have decried the downfall, of the evening news, and cable network news....could there be a correlation between female domination, and the decline of news programs....
This reflects the prevailing feminazation of American popular culture.
The men have been emasculated and their manly attributes have been shoveled into a closet.
Popular culture believes real men are queer and perverse relics of an ancient time.
US culture has been deliberately tyrannized by the socialist subversives who have been hard at work destroying the traditional ideals of American self reliance, rugged individualism and paternal governance. They have replaced it with maternal, female tussiness (which is necessary for socialist elites to prevail. They can bitch slap feminine men into place, they cannot defeat the real American man of yesteryear.)
Females do not win wars, and they predominantly believe in "peace at any cost". Real men win wars and will fight to the death (no liberty, no peace)
That is the greatest threat to liberty, not Al Qaida.

Precisely. What garbage. The ego-boosting self indulgence these guys go through is amazing. The MSM is so out of touch it is ridiculous. Web news and real time photos of a war have no nuclear TV mamma and papa "readers". Ozzie and Harriet is not on after the evening news and somebody better tell Katie et al. before they start promo-ing the Howdie Doody show.
Sex ratios for Vet college grads have undergone at least as dramatic a change compared with the newsroom shifts in the past 20 years. So what. Nobody is worried about the possible demise of the "nuclear" doggie doctors team if the shift is skewed too far. The newroom used to 100% male for several decades. Even if it went mainly female for a few, its hardly a problem.
Serious news viewers don't watch the MSM.
Hell no. It's a news reader and a pair of boobs next to him. Ever notice that once the female new reader gets older she gets swapped-out with a younger one?
And in another related story, the MSM media is going the way of the dodo or the Erie Indian.
France's Melissa Theuriau is the best news babe. I wish Fox would hire her.
Also the Fox babes don't act like the Feminazis of the MSM.

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism?? I wonder what they teach there!
I have dreamed of being a newspaper reporter since I was a little boy.
But, considering just how competitive journalism is these days, the uncertain future of newspapers, and the fact that the most common case is one in which young reporters have to stay late, have no holidays etc....all for very little pay that makes a teacher look wealthy.....I am leaning against the idea.
It would not be a family-friendly career. The rewards would be few.
Besides, I can freelance while I work in my other career path, history teaching. And, I could write in the summers.
Yet, my pay would probably be close to 10 grand higher if I include a summer job compared to what I would get writing for a newspaper.
Besides, the liberal bias of the media would make it hard to get ahead. To really make a comfortable living, I would need to hit a BIG newspaper as a reporter.
It is not worth it, and I think many other young aspiring male journalists feel the same.
Maybe I will try my hand at it after I retire from teaching.
Just in time to be laid off as the traditional TV news industry is dying (in part because of the liberal/feminist bias)...
Ninety-nine percent true, but how does Barbara Walters keep on going?
