I dunno about this. You might be confusing correlation with causality. Looking across the news landscape today, there seems to be a pretty even gender distribution among both the good and bad journalists.

I can't imagine ANY journalist from today working Ernie Pyle's beat, man or woman. It's not like Wolf Blitzer is the face of rugged individualism.
