  • Wonder Women
    WONDER WOMEN: Online I Newspapers I Apps A FEMALE SLICE OF LIFE New for Q4 2012: The Telegraph’s women’s channel – An exciting digital daily digest filled with thinking women’s content All too often women’s content is either just lipsticks and handbags or BMW - bitching moaning and whining about the glass ceiling – a brand of feminism a new generation of women don’t identify with. By contrast, Wonder Women, The Telegraph’s new daily online section dedicated to attracting young female readers (25-44), is going to be filled with thinking women’s content – defined by its irreverent, quick-witted and honest tone. Being digital-first means the section will react quickly to breaking news and make use of the freedom the web brings – while retaining quality journalism by drawing upon on a fabulous new range of writers. Think of Wonder Women as a younger-skewed BBC Radio 4 Women’s Hour on paper – which adds a whole new slate of content, viewpoints and writers to Telegraph.co.uk – while also promoting all relevant existing content and great Telegraph writers. COVERAGE CONTRIBUTORS & CONTENT Politics | Business | Mother Tongue | Sex | Life • Cathy Newman, Channel 4 News presenter and former FT political correspondent – on politics • Felicity Parkes, the 20-something political assistant causing a stir in Westminster with her anonymous blog about the halls of power – on women at Westminster • Dr Brooke Magnanti, author of Belle de Jour – The Secret Diary of a Call Girl - on sex • Dr Petra Boynton, renowned sex educator and agony aunt, will solve reader’s issues in a weekly sex column • Tamara Mellon*, co-founder of Jimmy Choo – on business • Katy Brand, comedian and impersonator – on life • High profile mums, such as Lily Allen*, writing about their experiences for our brand new parent blog: Mother Tongue • Diary of a Board Babe - an anonymous female board director of a FTSE 100 company will pen a weekly blog on what life on a male-dominated board is really like *tbc OUR AUDIENCE LAUNCH MONTH SPONSORSHIP When compared to all women..

The editorial cited as examples the open letter signed by 100 leaders and graduates of mainstream left-wing Zionist movements, asserting that ‘ending the occupation… is a principle of our Zionism’ and the group of young British Jews who said ‘Kaddish for Gaza’ in Parliament Square. The Fathom editors believe that the journal can provide a useful platform for this ongoing debate.

It exists to promote and defend the religious and civil liberties of British Jewry and to promote its standing. Nearly 300 Deputies represent local communities and organisations in a democratically elected body ZKLFKLVWKHƪUVWSRUWRIFDOOIRUJRYHUQPHQWDQGRWKHUIDLWKJURXSVRQLVVXHV relating to the Jewish community. On issues of importance, such as Holocaust remembrance and education, the Board reaches out through its Deputies and its close relationship with the other organisations to the whole community to consult and to listen, ensuring that we speak with a strong and consistent voice. Most of the community’s major communal organisations have contributed to this document and are listed in Appendix 1, along with details of our consultation process. Many are also submitting their own documents.
