A recent Pew Research study<\/strong><\/a> found that the news was skewed to male points of view.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite rising numbers of women in the workforce and in journalism schools, the news of the day still largely comes from a male perspective, according to a new study of press coverage.<\/p>\n

A broad look across the American news media over the course of nine months reveals that men are relied on as sources in the news more than twice as often as women, a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism has found.<\/p>\n

More than three quarters of all stories contain male sources, while only a third of stories contain even a single female source, according to the study, which was drawn from an examination of 16,800 news stories across 45 different news outlets during 20 randomly selected days over nine months.<\/p>\n

The disparity, moreover, holds true across newspapers, cable, network news and the online world.<\/p>\n

The findings may strike some observers as ironic given the efforts of many news outlets to increase their audience by reaching out to women\u2014and particularly to younger women, a group that generally is under represented as news consumers.<\/p>\n
