This is all women journalists needed: Journalism Barbie

As if women journalists didn’t have enough trouble in a traditionally male-dominate field, now there’s Journalism Barbie.  It’s the newest Barbie, available for Christmas.  She’s dressed in pink and has a microphone and camera and, of course, black stilettos adorned with tiny bows.  And every blonde hair is in place.
