Avenger of the Week | Amanda Robinson

Remember earlier this week when we let you know that the New York Times has been dropping the ball when it comes to featuring women writers on the front page? (They featured 80% men on the Sunday front page in October!) Well, GenderAvenger Amanda Robinson went straight to the source and let the Times know she wasn’t happy.

Dear NYT,

Do you guys not have any female reporters working for you?

What is up with this?

Even though I greatly appreciate the work done by the NYT, this gives me serious pause and is making me reevaluate my subscription.

I expect more from the NYT.

Sincerely,

Amanda Robinson

It’s actions like this that can truly help inspire change. Brava, Amanda, for letting the New York Times know they will either change their ways or lose a subscriber.

Upon hearing about the abysmal lack of women’s bylines on the front page of @nytimes #NYTSunday, Amanda Robinson took action and went straight to the source. Great move! #AvengerOfTheWeek #GenderAvenger https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/avenger-of-the-week-amanda-robinson
