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.

A terrifying moment. We appeal for your support.
In the last weeks, we have witnessed an authoritarian assault on communities in Minnesota and across the nation.
The need for truthful, grassroots reporting is urgent at this cataclysmic historical moment. Yet, Trump-aligned billionaires and other allies have taken over many legacy media outlets — the culmination of a decades-long campaign to place control of the narrative into the hands of the political right.
We refuse to let Trump’s blatant propaganda machine go unchecked. Untethered to corporate ownership or advertisers, Truthout remains fearless in our reporting and our determination to use journalism as a tool for justice.
But we need your help just to fund our basic expenses. Over 80 percent of Truthout’s funding comes from small individual donations from our community of readers, and over a third of our total budget is supported by recurring monthly donors.
Truthout has launched a fundraiser to add 379 new monthly donors in the next 6 days. Whether you can make a small monthly donation or a larger one-time gift, Truthout only works with your support.
