Main Story
From Reuters:
Greenstone Media, a radio company whose founders include social activist Gloria Steinem and actress Jane Fonda, has launched an all-women, all-talk network across the United States.
Steinem said the network, which is run by women, aims to provide an alternative to current radio talk, which she describes as "very argumentative, quite hostile, and very much male-dominated."
This network "has a different spirit. It has more community. It's more about information, about humor, about respect for different points of view and not constant arguing," Steinem told Reuters in an interview.
Some questions:
- Do conservative women have a voice on this network, or just the Steinem-Fonda crowd?
- Are men allowed to have any jobs on this network, for example technical jobs? If not, is it even legal to exclude men from those jobs?
- What makes anyone think that 50% of the population will listen to one network? Can a "women's" network talk to women who are young, old, employed, at home, pop, disco, Goths, punks, conservative, liberal, etc, etc? Or will it just be another Air America, just with women hosts exclusively?
