How did Veronica Guerin not make this list? I mean, Guerin died because of her story on rampant drugs on the Irish streets.
Or Marie Colvin, who recently died in Homs, Syria, reporting not the war but the effects of war and the damage if has on the civilian population. It brought a humanity to the Syrians that Westerners haven't known.
These are women who stood up to tell a story that needed to be told, stories that needed to inspire people to take action against injustice.
I'm usually on board with most things on this blog, but damn, there's some blatant misses. You're kidding me with some of these, right? Oprah didn't really change journalism. Sure, she's powerful, but she's not even a journalist. She made an empire of entertainment and capitalist brainwashing.

Seriously?! Geraldine Laybourne of Oxygen! She basically developed a tit and ass channel for women that women don't watch and don't want (who could have seen that coming?!). The only thing innovative about it is that it concentrates a lot of really offensive advertising in one spot that is easily blocked. There has to be some discussion about what constitutes "women's content". Clearly there is a divide between employing women at a channel and producing something the female audience wants to watch. I am an audience member and I care about the employment of women media executives about as much as they apparently care about my entertainment. Oxygen is in 70 million homes and averages 100,000 viewers a day last I heard and those are probably old men tuning in to watch the cat fight reality and tit and ass advertising. Stations who specialize in selling advertising to men who want feel like they are reaching women should not be classed as "women's content" when they have few women viewers. If women don't watch it it isn't "women's content" regardless of how the men in charge label it.
