Research Report-Who's Talking Now 2001
Over the last five years, The White House Project has researched the absence of women on Sunday morning talk shows on the five major networks: ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC. The first “Who’s Talking” report (below) was released in 2001 and found that men outnumbered women 9 to 1 on these agenda-setting shows. In our 2002 follow-up, we found that there was little improvement—women only made up 13% of all guest appearances on the shows. In the 2005 study, called Who's Talking Now, we found more than half of Sunday morning news shows did NOT include a single women. Read the full 2001 report below.
