The latest #MissingPerspectivesReport, by Luba Kassova + lead researcher Richard Addington, argues that a key opportunity is the development of products, services, and formats that are women-friendly. When you close the gender consumption gap, you will boost your newsroom’s revenue:

"In the 1960s and 1970s, women had to sue to be included in newsrooms and to even have jobs in newsrooms. Then there was the struggle to become leaders. For women of color, that door has stayed shut in a lot of ways." Powerful + frank words from Amanda Barrett at #IFJ23:

Richard Addy and I are excited to share that From Outrage to Opportunity that I authored and he was the quant research lead for has won The Communicator Award of excellence for social impact which "honors work that transcends craft — work that made a lasting impact". 1/2
