Media as a Community

 In a recent Women’s Media Center article, Ashley Judd is interviewed on the past year since the #MeToo movement. The media was instrumental in giving this movement the platform to grow as significantly as it did. Ashley Judd discusses the impactful role the media played in the movement in a recent interview with Lauren Wolfe. Judd comments that there needs to be more discussion within media platforms surrounding toxic masculinity to educate the masses and discontinue this philosophy surrounding what a man should be. The media in the #MeToo movement, as Ashley Judd points out in this piece, has been a space for survivors to create on online community that supports each others sexual assault experiences.
