Answer 1

To rewrite the paragraph to show a hopeful mood, it's essential to emphasize progress and opportunities for women in journalism rather than the low percentages.

Here’s a hopeful rewrite:

"While women currently make up 31 percent of news directors and 20 percent of general managers in broadcast newsrooms, these numbers reflect a growing presence of female leaders in the industry. In radio, women hold 23 percent of news director positions and 18 percent of general manager roles, showcasing a foundation for future progress and greater representation in leadership."

This revision focuses on the positive aspect of women's increasing presence in leadership roles, suggesting the potential for further growth and improvement.
