Cool? Yes. Accurate? Not entirely.
The Netflix series “Stranger Things” does not do justice to the way women were moving up in journalism in the 1980s, according to Kelly McBride writing for the Poynter Institute.
She writes:
“Yes, there was plenty of sexism in both newsrooms and the broader world. (And racism, too, which isn’t acknowledged much in the series.) But The Hawkins Post looks more like 1955 than 1985, when women were making enormous strides in journalism.”
