Media Critiques–Letterman and DVD to Rent

David Letterman brings to the forefront an increasing concern that I have–that women in the workplace could lose so much gained in the last 30 years. I am old enough to know what it feels like to be approached by bosses inappropriately and to have felt the glass ceiling. It is one of the reasons I started my own company. So, when I see that people are laughing about Letterman’s behavior and I see the next generation of women at work in flip flops and clothing with cleavage featured, I say it’s time for a serious review of women’s history. And, it’s time for a fresh assessment of how we present as professionals. Learn more at my branding workshop next month at the UMW Leadership Colloquium for Professional Women.

State of Play, a gripping thriller (in DVD) set in Washington, DC features Russell Crowe as a seasoned print reporter and it has an interesting sub theme: It reveals how new online bloggers (without journalism training) might learn something from an experienced print reporter. It’s also entertaining though 2 hours long.
