WiR redlist index: Journalists

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed.

This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources.

This is a list under development of missing articles on women who are (or have been) notable for their works as journalists.

Liz Smith (fashion journalist) - Has had a long and illustrious career as an editor and journalist since the 1990s. Selected by the Fashion Museum, Bath, to choose the 1992 Dress of the Year. Extremely difficult to research due to many other Liz Smiths (including the other Liz Smith (journalist)) clogging results, but there MUST be sources out there.

Kavitha Davidson, sports journalist and author
Loren Grush, space journalist and author of "The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts". (Reviews [10][11][12][13][14][15]) The challenge is to find independent sources about her among the Google-chaff of writing by her. Special:Search/Grush, Loren finds her cited in 201 extant articles, which you'd think says something notability-wise, although I agree such citations to her are not WP:INDEPENDENT.
