Women vs. Traditional Media

The fact that women's perspectives and views are limited in the old forms of media is not anything new. Whether it is the glorification of violence against women, demeaning stereotypes or a lack of voice, women continue to struggle to find a place within the media spectrum that not only represents their point of view but also honors the issues they face. This is perhaps the biggest reason why women have embraced new media as their gateway to the world. Blogs, podcasts, websites and videopodcasting have provided a method for women to cast their opinions and expertise into the public while allowing them to prove their talent and capabilities.
