    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement As Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding
    Spirit of Black Descendant Encouragement as Reflected in Black Gold Lyric by Esperanza Spalding a Journal by Renanda Prima Tyasa [A2B009054] English Department Faculty of Humanities Diponegoro University 2013 CHAPTER 1 ± Introduction The slavery era of black people from the 17th until 20th century had inherited wounds toward the descendants of black people. After Civil War (1861-1865), slavery was abolished by the combination of /incoln‘s Emancipation 3roclamation and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. However, although the Blacks were no longer slaves, they were still treated as second class citizens and continued to live in poor conditions without many chances to make their life better. It would take a long time before their life would be improved. However today, people of black descendants in the United States are able to blend with society. Indeed, their presence is considered better these days. However, they factually are not totally free from discrimination. News is reporting about discriminations that are faced by black descendants nowadays. As for example is the killing plan that is conducted by white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan that put target into President Barack Obama. News canal thesun.co.uk published it on June 21st, 2013. It is said, Fanatics Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, and Eric Feight, 54, were nicked after a six- month FBI undercover operation. Mr Obama was among those said to have been targeted by the futuristic device that would have fired lethal doses of radiation. Engineer Crawford, a member of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan, told undercover agents his design was —Hiroshima on a light switch“.
