Jenny’s Pennies

I was quite surprised this evening when I looked at the website of Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter and found an article about the blogosphere as the new ground for spreading the message of feminism and voicing women’s opinions that don’t fit in the usual media discourse.
Article here (in Swedish).

The article was based on a panel discussion held today with participation from, among others, the political party Feministiskt Initiativ (Feminist Initiative, link in English here).

The short article was quite shallow and didn’t really say anything new, but it was nice that for once we got a media report about women and blogging that wasn’t about young blondes writing about fashion and celebrities. And it was featured prominently way up on the front page, with a big headline, and not tucked away somewhere in the arts section.

(Maybe there will be a better report in the paper tomorrow, but I’m not holding my breath.)
