In this episode of our podcast, DLS co-host Florian Duijsens tells us about journalist, writer, and witness to history Dorothy Thompson. As a foreign correspondent in Germany, she was among the first to caution against the growing tides of fascism, warning urgently against the Nazis and Hitler. Unfortunately, the world didn't listen. Dorothy continued to speak out throughout her life, and during her career peak, was read and heard on the radio by millions. Her personal life at times also made the news — she was married to Pulitzer Prize-winning author and alcoholic Sinclair ‘Hal' Lewis but was also less openly involved with German-Hungarian novelist, playwright and sculptor Christa Winsloe, the author of the notorious girl's boarding school lesbian story which became Mädchen in Uniform, an even more notorious film starring Dead Lady Romy Schneider. Katy Derbyshire, our other DLS co-founder joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce the story.

Cristi Hegranes is an award-winning journalist and founder of the Global Press Institute (GPI), a nonprofit organization that builds and maintains news bureaus in some of the world's least-covered locations, like: Cameroon, Haiti, Kashmir, Mongolia, Nepal, Zambia and more. The organization recruits local women in the areas and then implements a 16-week training-to-employment program in which they learn the principles and practice of investigative journalism. Upon completion, graduates are offered full-time, paid employment as reporters with GPI's Global Press Journal (GPJ), which aims to “produce ethical, accurate news, to create a more just and informed world, with team members who are guided by four core values: dignity, diversity, transparency and excellence.” In September 2023, Hegranes released her new book: “BYLINE: How Local Journalists Can Improve the Global News Industry and Change the World,” which features original interviews with some of the biggest names in journalism, including Nicholas Kristof, Carroll Bogert, Bobby Ghosh, Lauren Williams, as well as Global Press reporters across the planet. In the book, Hegranes states that international coverage led by local journalists can restore trust in the entire news publishing industry. She explains, “to enact this solution, the industry will have to let go of many outdated assumptions about what news people want, who has a right to tell their story.” In this episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with award-winning journalist and founder of the Global Press Institute (GPI) Cristi Hegranes, whose new book: “Byline” makes a case that the global news publishing industry can become more sustainable by rethinking how it provides global news coverage by focusing on local news sourcing — as opposed to: “The flawed discipline of parachute journalism.” Within the interview with E&P Publisher Mike Blinder, Hegranes cites recent GPI research indicating, “There is a deep reservoir of untapped demand from readers in the United States — across a wide range of demographics, including noncitizen, diaspora, and migrant populations — for international journalism that is local, precise and representative.”
This week we speak to Brooke Kroeger, a journalist, professor, and author who wrote Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism.
On this episode, Andrew chats with director Luzia Schmid about her stunning documentary Trained to See, which is screening at the Castlemaine Documentary Film Festival. It will launch at the in person screening on June 17, with online sessions available to everyone in Australia afterwards. Trained to See tells the story of three American women journalists - Martha Gellhorn, Lee Miller, and Margaret Bourke-White - who each documented the Second World War in a fearless manner, putting themselves on the front line to capture their stories. Throughout Trained to See, we hear their stories from correspondence and journals that they kept during the period, and ultimately get to see the difficulties they faced as the power of misogyny arose during the war. This is both a powerful and engaging film, and is one of the finest archival documentaries of the year. As mentioned, Trained to See is available to watch for Australian audiences via CDocFF.com.au, alongside other great films including the brilliant football-focused documentary Equal the Contest, directed by Mitch Nivalis, and tells about their journey to push for equality in Aussie football. Other films available to watch online are Watandar My Countryman, The Thief Collector, Into the Ice, Weed & Wine, and Young Plato.

Women journalists on the challenges of reporting in a time of disinformation and censorship
Besa Luci in conversation with Maša Mileusnić and Dafina Halili.In this episode, we talk about the experiences of women journalists in Kosovo, Serbia and the broader region. Though women's perspectives and voices are increasingly incorporated into media content, there's been relatively limited discussion about how media outlets are failing women journalists in the workplace. Women have long been aware of the pervasiveness of gender discrimination, but two recent reports have documented the full extent of workplace sexism in newsrooms across Kosovo and Serbia.The findings of these reports align with global surveys that reflect the unfortunate truth that gender-based discrimination is prevalent in the media workplace.Relying on surveys and conversations with over 500 women journalists across the two countries, it is one of the first comprehensive looks into the topic. Some of the forms of discrimination highlighted in the research are sexual harassment, ageism and the lack of support for journalists who are mothers. These obstacles result in hostile work environments that can compromise the well-being of women journalists and hinder their professional growth.We were joined by Maša Mileusnić and Dafina Halili to discuss the reports' findings and other challenges women face as journalists. Maša Mileusnić is a journalist and a member of the Serbia-based network Women Journalists Against Violence Towards Women. Dafina Halili is a journalist and contributing editor at Kosovo 2.0. She conducted the Kosovo portion of the recent report on the position of women in journalism.Other Talking Points is produced by Besa Luci, Aulonë Kadriu and Gentiana Paçarizi.

A report by the National Union of Journalists in the United Kingdom shows that especially in the past two years violence against women journalists has been increasing. NUJ General Secretary Michelle Stanistreet reports on what the NUJ is doing to help. The NUJ is working with Canadian media unions to develop a safety kit for women journalists and is creating a database to provide real time reporting of incidents. The report was prepared for the International Federation of Journalists which has affiliates in Canada such as Unifor and the Canadian Media Guild. RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service. It reports on labour union events around the world with a focus on unions in the developing world. It partners with rabble to provide coverage of news of interest to Canadian workers.
With journalists Garvia Bailey, Saba Eitizaz, Christina Frangou, and Salimah Shivji. Content note: this episode includes discussion of gender-based violence and sexual assault. It's 2023 and we're in Season 5. We start with online harassment and hate faced by women and racialized journalists. We need them to give voice to what's often left unheard in Canada. This makes the harassment and abuse they experience at disproportionate levels particularly vexing. It's harmful to them as people and as media workers, and it runs counter to the goal of making our world better and fairer. We can't achieve that goal without a diverse news media landscape and truth in reporting. Online harm and harassment are on the rise globally. We often point fingers across borders, but the Coalition for Women in Journalism says that Canada is the country where the greatest number of women journalists were exposed to organized troll campaigns in 2022. This is gendered violence, and it's unacceptable. Digital attacks aimed predominantly at women and racialized journalists victimize, belittle and, ultimately, undermine trust in facts and jeopardize press freedom. We collaborated with the Canadian Journalism Foundation and the #NotOk campaign on a discussion with journalists in December 2022. Today's episode features a snippet of this conversation, focused on the lived experiences of our panelists. It was moderated by CBC News correspondent, Salimah Shivji. It featured Garvia Bailey, journalist, broadcaster, and co-founder of Media Girlfriends, Christina Frangou, freelance journalist and 2022 winner of the Landsberg Award, and Saba Eitizaz, Toronto Star producer and co-host of This Matters Podcast.

With guest Barbara Perry. White nationalism is on the rise in Canada. What does it have to do with women? Researchers Barbara Perry and Ryan Scrivens describe far-right extremism as “a loose movement, animated by a racially, ethnically, and sexually defined nationalism.” They go on to explain that it's “typically framed in terms of White power, and is grounded in xenophobic and exclusionary understandings of the perceived threats posed by such groups as non-Whites, Jews, immigrants, homosexuals and feminists.” White nationalism is a core concept in this extremism. And many experts say it's becoming more mainstream. In Canada, it's been the basis of all kinds of dangerous things including deadly attacks, misinformation campaigns, and harassment and hate toward public figures, politicians and journalists, particularly racialized women. In the swirl of media coverage about the issues, it can be hard to sort what it's about and the implications from a gender and rights perspective. Last episode, I spoke with journalist Erica Ifill about this topic. In this part two episode, we're joined by Barbara Perry, Director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism and Professor in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities at Ontario Tech University. She holds a UNESCO Chair in Hate Studies, a field in which she has written extensively, and she is generally recognized as the leading Canadian expert on hate crime and right-wing extremism. She is regularly called upon by policy makers, practitioners, and local, national, and international media as an expert on both topics.

New York Times–bestselling author Julia Scheeres and award-winning journalist Allison Gilbert have written the first biography of American writer Elsie Robinson: Listen, World! (Seal Press, September 27, 2022). Robinson, a newspaper columnist who used her national platform to defy social mores, became the highest-paid woman writer in the William Randolph Hearst media empire. Their cinematic narrative weaves meticulous research with Robinson's own inspiring and often hilarious words, taken from her columns, interviews, books, and letters—most never digitized or previously available to today's readers. Allison Gilbert is the author of numerous books. She executive produced two film projects in collaboration with the 9/11 Memorial & Museum: a documentary called, "Reporting 9/11 and Why It Still Matters,” and a 20-part series, "Women Journalists of 9/11: Their Stories” featuring journalists Tom Brokaw, Savannah Guthrie, the New York Times' Maggie Haberman, NPR's Linda Wertheimer, and 60 Minutes' correspondent and anchor Scott Pelley, and many others. Allison lives in New York with her husband and two children. To learn more, visit allisongilbert.com
The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario has basically lifted all its COVID-era public-health measures; the pandemic is essentially over, in an official sense, judging by how Ontario is handling it. An exception is the regulation that permits patients to be sent from a hospital to a long-term-care home, even against their will, or else be hit with heavy financial penalties. Are the already frail and vulnerable going to be the only people asked to make sacrifices to keep our system functioning? Matt Gurney, Columnist for the National Post and TVO - An organized campaign of hate is trying to silence women in journalism and they're sounding the alarm to find a way to stop these online attacks! GUEST: Brent Joly, President of The Canadian Association of Journalists - Ukrainian troops bolstered by stepped-up Western military aid launched a long-awaited counter-offensive to retake territory in the south on Monday as Russian forces shelled residential areas of the Black Sea port city of Mykolaiv. Moscow acknowledged a new offensive had been launched but said it had failed and the Ukrainians had suffered significant casualties. GUEST: Thomas Hughes, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Canadian Defence and Security Network
When we get knocked down, we get back up again, rising from the smush like fruit flies! This week, the ladies are covering two war-time journalists separated by hundreds of years but have a surprising amount in common. First, Kelley tells the story of Marie Colvin, a war journalist who looked like she stepped out of a Bond film, but instead of taking out enemy spies, she sought to cover the tragedy and chaos of war- no matter the cost. Then, Emily covers Mary Katharine Goddard, a Revolutionary-era printer, book shop proprietor, journalist, and patriot who put her name on the Declaration of Independence. Is it a dragon or Washington?? Doesn't matter because we're wining about herstory! Support the show

In the early 1970s, the future of abortion in America was far from settled. Roe v. Wade would change everything, though few knew it at the time.

You'll hear the forgotten story of the first woman ever to be convicted of manslaughter for having an abortion, the unlikely Catholic power couple who helped ignite the pro-life movement, and a rookie Supreme Court justice who got assigned the opinion of a lifetime.

For 20 years in rural northern India, an all-women group has run an increasingly popular news outlet called Khabar Lahariya. Most of them come from the Dalit caste, which is the lowest. Their story is told in the Oscar-nominated film, “Writing with Fire.” COVID-19 is surging in Western Europe, caused by the more transmissible Omicron variant BA.2. It's time to be proactive and prepare now, says UCLA doctor. Critics review new movie releases: “Deep Water,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” “Umma,” “Alice,” and “Master.” Marmalade is the art of combining a clear jelly with softened pieces of citrus rind. It all started in Scotland, traditionally made with Seville bitter oranges.
In India, there is just one newspaper run entirely by women, Khabar Lahirya, and it covers the region of Uttar Pradesh. The women are also Dalit, or so-called “untouchables,” a category excluded from India's caste system. This unique outlet is the subject of “Writing with Fire,” an independent Indian feature documentary. Over five years, the filmmakers followed a group of brave women journalists from marginalized communities as the newspaper transitioned from print to digital and as the reporters' challenged the structures of tradition and power in their region in India. The film is nominated for best documentary feature at this year's Academy Awards, and has won several other awards in the film festival circuit. We spoke with one of the directors of the documentary, Rintu Thomas.

We recently asked if women politicians can call people out, a subject that was pertinent given Hillary Clinton's latest book where she does just that. Now we turn to women journalists. Journalism is all about raising uncomfortable questions, speaking up and having to call people out, especially those in power. But women journalists face especially harsh abuse online, and the BBC's Laura Kuennesberg even had to have a bodyguard at a recent party conference after receiving very violent threats online. We speak to Eleanor Mills, editor of the Sunday Times Magazine and the chair of Women in Journalism, and try to untangle whether women journalists can call people out, and the pros and cons of being a woman with regards to speaking up.We'll look at some transgender terminology that people frequently use incorrectly, after Nas did just this on a recent episode, and we recommend two podcasts for you to check out: The Ministry of Ideas and Badass Women's Hour.Host & producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-producer: Cady VogeSponsor: Casper, state-of-the-art mattresses https://casper.com/uk/en/Guests: Eleanor Mills, Editor of The Sunday Times Magazine https://twitter.com/EleanorMillsAsh, podcast listenerRelated links:The Sunday Times Magazine interview with Hillary Clinton http://bit.ly/2y4OdagThe Sunday Times Magazine podcast http://apple.co/2ySfPhVMoneyball clip ‘The first guy through the wall' http://bit.ly/2xqmSSZThe Gender Knot https://www.thegenderknot.com/Podcast recommendations:Ministry of Ideas https://www.ministryofideas.org/Badass Women's Hour http://apple.co/2xsbm4HMusic: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons)
On this week's 51%, we explore our archives and hear the extraordinary stories of two women — a dancer who spent 40 years touring internationally on behalf of U.S. presidents, and a pioneering journalist in the 1930s and 40s. In the book “Martha Graham's Cold War: The Dance of American Diplomacy,” historian Victoria Phillips illuminates the dance icon's four-decade reign as the country's premiere cultural ambassador. Graham toured on behalf of every seated American president from Dwight Eisenhower to Ronald Reagan. Phillips, a one-time student of Graham's, spoke with 51%'s Allison Dunne in September 2020 about why she wrote the book. “Martha Graham's Cold War: The Dance of American Diplomacy” is published by Oxford University Press. You can hear the full interview on episode #1626. In the book "Washington's Golden Age: Hope Ridings Miller, the Society Beat, and the Rise of Women Journalists" Albany Times Union reporter, critic and author Joseph Dalton, also a WAMC contributor, chronicles the life of this pioneering woman journalist who covered the powerful vortex of politics, diplomacy and society during a career that stretched from FDR to LBJ. After joining the Post staff, she was the only woman on the city desk. Later she had a nationally syndicated column. For ten years she edited Diplomat Magazine and then wrote three books about Washington life. And, Joseph Dalton is her cousin. 51%'s Joe Donahue spoke with Dalton in 2019. “Washington's Golden Age: Hope Ridings Miller, the Society Beat, and the Rise of Women Journalists” is published by Rowman & Littlefield. You can hear the full interview on episode #1537. Thanks for joining us for this week's 51%. I'm your guest host Elizabeth Hill. Thanks to Ian Pickus and Tina Renick for production assistance.
