New Yorker parity report - December 5, 2011

Well the parity score is exactly the same this week as it was last week, although two of the bylines are poems, but poems count. And Elizabeth Kolbert the focus of Steven Pinker's annoyance which I blogged about yesterday, has the first article in the line-up.

The New Yorker Parity Report
A regular report on the gender parity - or lack thereof - of the current issue of The New Yorker based on table of contents by-lines
Includes fiction, non-fiction, poems. Does not include illustrations.


A score of 50% means that half of all writers in the issue are female.
A score of greater than 50% would mean more female than male writers. This never happens.


Parity change from previous week: 0%
