Why do journalists consider Hillary Clinton’s “fat thighs” newsworthy in
coverage of her presidential bid, while Dick Cheney’s beer belly is never
noticed by political reporters? Are women all really vapid, pathetic, gold-digging whores, as so-called “reality” TV producers would like us to believe? Feminist media activism and independent media production can interrupt this misogynistic media landscape – but how can either survive in a fractured funding climate? These are just some of the meaty issues that will be tackled by Women in Media and News (WIMN) in Chicago while I’m at Kimmi’s reading tonight.<\/p>\n
