In this week's Backstory, USA TODAY editor-in-chief nicole_carroll writes about the importance of continuing to cover women's stories intersecting with politics, policy and other issues, and about a fight for equality that is far from over.
I'm USA TODAY editor-in-chief Nicole Carroll, and this is The Backstory, insights into our biggest stories of the week. If you'd like to get The Backstory in your inbox every week,Four years ago, Emily Ramshaw had an idea she just couldn't shake. She wanted to create a national newsroom that would cover the intersection of women, politics and policy. That idea, The 19th*, launched Monday.
"But then I was changing dirty diapers and covered in spit up and then in like a dark black hole of postpartum depression," Ramshaw said."And that idea moved quickly out of my head. I didn't think about it much for another three years, until we entered the 2020 election cycle. And suddenly those exact same conversations about electability and likeability were coming up, even though we had more women on the presidential debate stage than we'd ever had before.
“The 19th*’s commitment to reporting and storytelling that lifts up those who are too often underrepresented in the media has never been more important,”“I’m looking forward to asking the co-founder what it means to build a media outlet with gender equity, diversity, and community at its core.” "All you have to do is look around to see the ways that women are disproportionately affected," she said."And you hear the frustrations of, you know, women of privilege who are trying to navigate this moment with their kids at home, but you don't hear as many of the stories of women living in poverty who are grappling with this, women who have minimum wage jobs or who are front-line workers, essential workers.
"We're particularly excited about the USA TODAY Network partnership and the Univision partnership because of the pure reach and how on brand it is for us from a mission standpoint," Ramshaw said."Univision is translating our work into Spanish and distributing it to totally new audiences for us, and the USA TODAY Network is the fastest and surest way to reach the kind of regional diversity that we think is critical to our storytelling and our audience building.
