The article discusses the leadership styles of women in the field of journalism, focusing on American women journalists such as Jill Abramson, the first women executive director of the news paper the "New York Times," and Charlotte H. Hall. The author examines the experiences of women in journalism, which the author indicates has traditionally been a field dominated by men. The idea that female journalists do not possess a different interest in news stories than men is debated in light of statements made by Abramson in an article in which she argued that gender does not play a role in men's and women's reporting. The perspectives of other women journalists are presented, including Karen Magnuson, Sandra Mims Rowe, and Diane McFarlin.
