The New York Times’ CEO is a woman Meredith Kopit Levien, and women are currently editors-in-chief at The Washington Post Sally Buzbee, The Wall Street Journal Emma Tucker, Reuters Alessandra Galloni, McClatchy Robyn Tomlin, and, yes, Fortune Alyson Shontell.

Meanwhile, a University of Oxford study found, even though 40 percent of journalists in the 12 major news markets are women. The U.S. is much better than the average; 44 percent of top editors here are reportedly women. Plus, for the first time, over 10 percent of the Fortune 500 are now directly spearheaded by female CEOs. https://www.ox.ac.uk/
One final self-serving note to add. These extremely intelligent women should just begin to understand that they need to look for hard-working immigrants because as the population grows s and that iconic song 🎶 says… We get the job done and know how to elevate others and make a difference in their lives. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6_35a7sn6ds&pp=ygUeSW1taWdyYW50cyB3ZSBnZX…
