According to a report issued by Echo Research, three quarters of all news journalists are men. Women do slightly better among those covering business and politics (about one-third are female). Or at least among the 28 largest circulation newspapers in the UK. And the imbalance is worse for senior editorial positions.
Its better in the US, where the percentage of male journalists peaked in 1970, and has been falling ever since. In the last ten years, more than half of journalists have been women.
