Speakers: Men get edge in media coverage

WINONA, Minn., March 21, 2002 -- The news media are lopsided in their coverage of women starting with who does the writing, two feminist authors told a Winona State University crowd. Amy Richards called the phenomenon a "media sin." Women cover stories about women and men cover stories about everything else, Richards said: "If you look at the bylines, the majority of them belong to men." Her co-author, Jennifer Baumgardner, said another media sin is the Scare Strategy. She cited a statistic in Newsweek that a woman is more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to get married after age 35. This headline is misleading, false and would scare some women to marry before they are ready, said Baumgardner. Baumgardner is a former editor at Ms. magazine. Richards is a contributing editor.

"CRYSTAL THRONE" Kathryn Sullivan

WINONA, Minn., March 18, 2002 -- Kathryn Sullivan is still pinching herself. About winning a national award for her e-novel "The Crystal Throne," Sullivan said: "I'm still having a hard time believing it. I keep checking the award." Sullivan, a Winona State University librarian, was at the Eppy awards ceremony in Seattle and heard a competing author's name called out. "The competition was very strong, so when Elaine Corvidae's name was read first, I applauded with everyone. Then the presenter read my name too." It turned out that the judges thought they should share the award for best fantasy e-book of the year. Although "Crystal Throne" is Sullivan's first book, she has had short stories published in both print and web magazines. Sullivan's second book, "Agents & Adepts," is set to be published later this year. Meanwhile, publisher RFI West is bringing out "Crystal Throne" in an ink-on-paper edition.

Apartment site scores 14,000 February hits

WINONA, Minn., March 21, 2002 -- A web site featuring virtual tours of apartments created by Winona State University student Rich Alapack received 14,040 visitors last month. "That's a lot looking at the site in one month," Alapack said. The site posts available apartments, many geared to college students. A couple of months old now, the site features 40 different houses. Alapack charges landlords a "a reasonable amount" to list their units. At the beginning Alapack did a lot of work promoting the site by calling landlords and mailing out information. Now, he said, it's almost equal -- he contacts landlords and they contact him. Alapack works about 30 hours a week on the site between phone calls with landlords, updating and adding pictures. He said the experiences he has had with the project "can't be learned in the classroom." Reporter: Angie Anderson Contact: findaplacetolive.com Background: Rental webmaster: Parents frequent site
