These are all interesting topics. The first -- women in journalism. I assume you're looking at print journalism. Women on TV are a different matter because of how important looks are. That could be an important topic too, e.g. women on Fox TV recently saying younger women are too stupid to vote. Social media and dating -- it might be difficult to find statistics, but it's an interesting topic. Objectivity in journalism -- you could write an entire book on the topic. Any way you could narrow it down to something easier to handle?
