Subject: Media Request - KPCC (NPR in LA) - For tomorrow, TUES 11/18

 

Hello Pamela,

 

I'm a producer at KPCC and I'm looking for an expert who can join the Take Two show tomorrow morning, 11/18.

 

The chat we'd like to have would be a roundtable discussion on how social media not only gives women a platform for speaking out about domestic abuse or sexual assault; it makes them more vulnerable to harassment.

 

We want to explore whether empowerment has begun to trump fear; or are women still being ridiculed to the point of dropping out of the conversation? Are we seeing a cultural shift in women's willingness to come forward?

 

Is there someone at the center who can speak on these topics?

 

Please contact me at your earliest convenience - [log in to unmask] or 818.321.0260.

 

Many thanks,​

Sarah Sweeney
