Can The Media Make Geek Chic?
from the do-we-care? dept
Apparently, getting women interested in technology careers is taking on increasing importance. Four different countries are launching huge media campaigns to make "geek look chic". That's funny, I thought with all the dot com stuff that went over the past few years geek was chic. I guess I was just ahead of the fashion curve... Of course, for those women who want to learn all about just how chic geek can get, we've still got our GeekGirlServices.com operation running.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
