BBC Newscaster or Barbie?
The BBC is actively seeking to hire a woman over 50 to present the news.
They are being criticized for being sexist and biased toward youth. For too long now this English public station has had a reputation for hiring young women who look like Barbie dolls, while older men with graying hair are common place.
Sounds like a small step in the right direction. We need positive images of real people with AgeEsteem entering our homes on the screen.
