The Women's Desk: Scaling Intersectional Narrative Change Across Public Radio
Scaling Aspen Public Radio's "Women's Desk" into a national model to dismantle narrow workplace narratives through intersectional, gender-focused journalism across the public radio system.
Mainstream news often overlooks how gender and race intersect to create workplace barriers. The Aspen Public Radio Women's Desk addresses this by centering the lived experiences of women. After successful regional implementation, we propose to scale this model nationally. By leveraging the public radio network and an open-distribution strategy mirrored after The 19th News Network, we will shift national narratives, providing 50+ million listeners with the stories needed to build equitable, thriving workplaces for everyone.
