Girl-on-Girl Combat

If you like covering hot, sensitive topics and always enjoyed the heated discussions of gender issues, covering gender politics might be the beat for you. Jon Friedman at MarketWatch speaks with various writers who cover the area. “‘It’s a great beat to cover,’ points out Nicole Brodeur, who writes a terrific column in the Seattle Times. ‘It’s ever-changing. As much as women are moving ahead, the country still has its foot stuck in the mud. This is the biggest gray area we’ve ever had in our lives. You can’t make any blanket statements about women.’”

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
