Media Watch Research
Research by the organization Media Watch reveals subtle differences in how women and men leaders are covered in local newspapers. A 2005 study commissioned by The Forum and conducted by the Communications Department at Temple University examined the frequency and quality of print coverage of regional leaders for gender variances. In 2006, The Forum shared the significant research results with the four major print publications included in the study: Philadelphia Business Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and Camden County Courier Post.
