I cannot even begin to comprehend this mindset. I used to feel this after covering horrendous court cases, how can anyone do and say these things? A Barrister reminded me if I ever could comprehend, that was the time to start worrying.
Kate McCann says, "So it's acceptable to joke about raping a woman?" And Carl Benjamin says - well, shouts - "YES! ANY QUESTIONS?" The thing is Carl: you don't look like you're joking. You look like you're consumed with rage.
My Masters research lookednat this very issue and this is an excellent discussion of an important issue. #journalism #emotions
How can emotional awareness contribute to a better journalism?

I dropped my daughter off at a football camp today- she's one of just 3 girls there. The coaches referred to the group as " fellas", "lads" & " boys". It's this kind of everyday sexism which carelessly drips feeds into the lives of girls & women. #sexism #footballcoach #football

Creepy, but not surprising. Thousands of Amazon workers are listening to recordings of Echo users buff.ly/2DbVj0m

Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.
Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️
The Peony lady talking about her love of the flowers actually made me fill up with tears tonight #GardenersWorld There’s something magical about flowers and I totally relate to her floral love affair @TheMontyDon

Betty Boothroyd’s endorsement of a People’s Vote...
...and ripping apart of Boris Johnson and Vote Leave promises - is going viral. 🔥

Great to see an employer @Ofcom looking to tap into the skills of returnees rather than being suspicious of them. #returntowork #older #careers ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/job…

Dear EU
When this all goes to shit, please remember that half of us don’t even want this to happen & we have no representation. It wasn’t even a clear win, it was a split vote. In science we would never be able to call 51.9/48.1 a ‘majority’ or generalise.
Send help.
Love, 48%
Peace and beauty in Padstow today. My heart always feels settled here 💖 #padstow #cornwall #SPRINGBREAK

A speech worth listening to.
Richard Ashworth(Conservative MEP) - @eucopresident... On behalf of 1 million people on the streets of London, on behalf of the 6 million people who have signed the #RevokeArticle50 petition & the 63% who did not vote for #brexit, I want to say thank you.

New episode of our podcast online! We talked with @KarinWahlJ about her research on emotions in journalism and the role of certain emotions in political discourse. soundcloud.com/user-31189303…
Women all have stories like these. I was 19 and doing voluntary work at my local radio station, 1 of the team said I’d only be allowed to continue if I slept with him. As women too often, we have to make risk assessments for our own safety. #Harassment #WomenTellAll #safety
