As you watch primary coverage, remember: few women gatekeep in news media

As you consider the output of the coverage you watch over the next few days related to the remaining primaries and their results in the Democratic presidential nominee race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, keep in mind this lengthy list of data and statistics that show how poorly the news media reflects the female population - especially among the gatekeepers.

Three of my favorites:

Music Video: Cleveland Debate Spin Room spins me right round, baby

If you like to critique, then critique away. This is the last in a series of videos I made from Ohio debate and Ohio primary day clips I took and used for experimenting. Ironically, the Clinton advisory was the only from whom I had decent audio. But I have a new Flip camcorder now so hopefully the quality of what I do will be better (John McEnroe - it's always the equipment).

Democracy in Action: The What You Need To Know Ohio Primary List

I could point you to more bandwidth and pulp that contains information you should know as you monitor headlines and the Internet over the next three days for any and all news related to the Democratic presidential primary competition between Senator Hillary Clinton (NY) and Barack Obama (IL) than you would ever be able to consume, but what will any of that tell you that you can't already figure out if you're enough of a wonk or wonkabee that you're reading this blog post or this blog at all?

If it sounds like I'm eschewing most of the conventional wisdom, nothing new there.

Live from Cleveland State debate's media room

Is Jill Miller Zimon and a whole lotta bloggers. I'm credentialed through Newsweek.com but I also won a ticket to be in the audience so I'll be getting the full experience.
