#AskHerMore: How the Media Talks to Women On the Red Carpet

tumblr_mzn18te0jZ1rpubqio1_250

Even at the Oscars, where we celebrate the highest artistic achievements in film, reporters often focus more on a woman’s appearance than what she has accomplished. This Sunday night we’re encouraging the media to #AskHerMore!

We’re using the hashtag on Twitter to send suggested questions to reporters, in real-time, whenever they risk devaluing the accomplishments of women in Hollywood, and to spark deeper conversations in front of a national television audience.

Tomorrow, at 2 pm ET, we’re hosting a special Hangout to discuss the campaign, with: Soraya Chemaly, Jaclyn Friedman of Women, Action & the Media and Arturo Garcia of Racialicious! Watch it live on Google+ or here:
