In this episode of High Value Women, Adam and Ellie talk about the rom-com-to-newsroom pipeline and ask whether shows like Ugly Betty really did convince a generation of women and queer people to become journalists. From Betty Suarez and Andy Sachs to Carrie Bradshaw and Bridget Jones, they look at why journalism became the dream career of the 90s and 2000s, the importance of seeing outsiders like Betty at the centre of these stories, and what all that glamorous magazine propaganda left out about the reality of working in media.
