Who are the "outstanding" women in media? My vote goes to Editor Hu Shuli of China.

Two days after leaving Caijing, China’s leading financial news magazine, Editor Hu reportedly accepted an offer to become dean of the School of Communication and Design at Zhongshan University (Sun Yat-Sen University) in Guangzhou in southerm China, near Hong Kong.

Earlier in December, Ms. Hu set up her own publishing company, Caixin Media, to publish a weekly magazine, now called Century Weekly, books and to organize conferences.

Caixin Media is a periodical licensed to the China Institute for Reform and Development in Haikou, capital of Hainan province (one of 9,500 licensed periodicals in the country).

For an update on Ms. Hu’s first issue of Century Weekly, see the WSJ blog:
China Real Time Report.

The first issue of out the door focuses on inflation, corruption, and "reshuffling executives at banks as a way to address governance problems." Tell me where in the U.S. is there any comparable woman in media willing to take on the substantive governance issues, lead a major profit-oriented media enterprise, and speak out on contemporary financial issues?
