00:00I think people always assume that that as a woman who has worked in the Middle
00:05East, who has worked in Africa, that I must have had problems as a result of my
00:08gender and in fact I have mostly found that in the field my gender has helped
00:13me. Women literally put their lives on the line in the name of truth and that
00:19that is precisely why most journalists have become journalists. People like me
00:23who become journalists to speak truth to power, to give voice to the voiceless.
00:29I think in order for more female journalists to be upfront and center we
00:32need more female journalists and leadership in the c-suites, running the
00:36newsrooms, managing editors. I'm Maria Ressa I'm one of the founders of Rappler in
00:41the Philippines. My name is Rekmini Kalimaki and I cover the Islamic State for
00:45The New York Times. I'm Juju Chang I'm one of the co-anchors of ABC News Nightline.
00:50I'm Sylvia Obell I am an entertainment journalist currently at BuzzFeed News.
00:55My name is Tanzina Vega. I'm the host of The Takeaway at WNYC and PRI.
