There’s a new journalism award in town: the WE (Women’s Empowerment) Journalism Awards are, in the organisers’ words, “aims to inspire and honour journalists who highlight women’s issues in Asia Pacific with the goal of advancing the quality of reporting in this area”. Sponsored by beverage company Diageo, it’s an offshoot of the company’s philanthropic arm, Plan W, whose goal is “empowering women through learning”.

Well, the “votes” are in, and the finalists in the Online Story Of The Year category include only two entries by actual women. Up for title are Nilanjana Bhowmick’s TIME India piece India’s Golden Girls: How Sports and the Olympics Can Uplift Women, independent journalist Jefry Tupas’ NewsDeskAsia article The War of Ana Luisa Calix, and Farifax blogger Sam De Brito’s Meet the most powerful woman in the world.

The piece De Brito is nominated for should be no stranger to regular Daily Life readers; I wrote a piece in opposition to it last month, suggesting that the Lean Inmodel of empowerment (more women in big business) is worth questioning. His piece also contained more than a handful of words decrying the state of “women’s sites”; in other words, the “Listen up, ladies, let me tell you how to be better feminists” model of empowerment.
