Ladydrawers
The last installment of Ladydrawers looked at gendered discrepencies in media hiring practices (catch up on all the strips here) and how the gender of the labor pool might affect media content. In this piece, we look at what might be missing from the media – in other words, at the issues disproportionately affecting women that somehow get missed in a male-dominated media environment. Welcome to “What We Do,” the first of two strips with Anne Elizabeth Moore and Lauren Weinstein – and watch for “What We Look Like” next month.

Defying Trump’s right-wing agenda from Day One
Inauguration Day is here, and at Truthout, we plan to defy Trump’s right-wing agenda from Day One.
Looking to the first year of Trump’s presidency, we know that the most vulnerable among us will be harmed. Militarized policing in U.S. cities and at the borders will intensify. The climate crisis will deteriorate further. The erosion of free speech has already begun, and we anticipate more attacks on journalism.
It will be a terrifying four years to produce social justice-driven journalism. But we’re not falling to despair, because we know there are reasons to believe in our collective power.
The stories we publish at Truthout are part of the antidote to creeping authoritarianism. And this year, we promise we will kick into an even higher gear to give you truthful news that cuts against the disinformation, vitriol, hate and violence. We promise to publish analyses that will serve the needs of the movements we all rely on to survive the next four years, and even build for the future. We promise to be responsive, to recognize you as members of our community with a vital stake and voice in this work.
