Editor raps ‘pale male’ media
Shanti Soalanski
l ot Outgo* D*.*C £ mm/tkJ
It '» no longer a mystery how
women are buried in the world
of print, considering the media
an* nm bv the 'pale and male,"
MS magarino's editor-in-c hief
told a University audience of
about itoo people Thursday.
"If there's one word for jour
nalists to hold onto, it's audaci
ty," said Robin Morgan, this
year's speaker for the annual
School of (nurnalism Johnston
Iah lure
Morgan has taken audacity to
heart through her feminist
activism and writings that take
on an international perspective
"All issues are women's
issues because women are the
majority on this planet not the
minority," Morgan said
"We need to blow away the
cobwebs of the myths of femi
nism and address the issues."
Morgan said.
The women's movement has
struggled with many media bias
es for I he past 2S years. Morgan
said.
"The myth that this is the sec
ond wave of feminism discredits
any other women's move
ments." she said. "Our experi
ence reflects only a small por
tion of a world mosaic And
Robin Morgan
since the sixties, we've been twi
lling this lira burners' image
that i aim* out of a fluke in the
Xr\\ York Times 20 years ago,''
she soul, provoking a round of
applause from the audience.
She attributes these myths to
the media, which she said she
believes has disregarded
women.
"Every year for the last 25
years, the media has tried to
dei lare that feminism is dead.
It's not " Morgan said
After battling with advertisers
over content of the magazine for
in years, nao^an nm, mag
Mine was def iared finished. But
in 1990. it was resurrected
because of massive reader
response demanding the restart
of the magazine
Morgan had worked on MS
for a number of years tmt
believed it was Ixnng taken over
by the advertising industry in
the mid-1980s Fed up with MS
evolving toward glamour maga
zine status, she removed her
name from the masthead. In
1990 she returned to the maga
zine. but on her terms.
"That's why I'm here today,"
she said, "to say you can have
your principles and your cake."
Two years after it's resurrec
tion. MS still adheres to the
i hanges Morgan made. The
magazine is run entirely on
sales, there is no advertising.
International articles are written
by women from the countries
the articles are about, and MS. is
currently in the process of being
translated into other languages.
The success of the magazine is
evidence of Morgan's sense of
personal vision of the past and
future feminism.
"If we do not write our own
history, who will," she said,
receiving a standing ovation
from the packed auditorium.
