Women journalists: 1 thing I always wanted to tweet was that there was/is a huge gender disparity in journos who DMd me their stories to share.

It’s almost exclusively men. Not judging the practice nor telling you to spam ppl, but those who DMd me their stories were almost always men. Don’t be shy
