"Why Journalism Has A Gender Problem"
by Corinne Segal
The journalism industry is severely lacking in leadership by women and racial minorities, according to the Nieman Reports story published Wednesday.
This year’s census by the American Society of News Editors (ASNE), which looked at diversity at print newspapers, shows women accounting for 35.4 percent of supervisors. This barely marks an increase from 1999, when women made up 33.8 percent of supervisors. Women run three out of the 25 biggest U.S. titles and one of the top 25 international titles. They make up 37.2 percent of overall newspaper employees, a whole three-tenths of a percent increase from 1999. Racial minorities fare even worse, comprising 13 percent of overall employees.

If you reversed the order of paragraphs 3 and 4, the best response would be:
The extent of the problem would be lost on readers because they would not receive all the data.
Reversing these paragraphs would potentially disrupt the logical flow of information, preventing readers from fully understanding the depth and severity of the statistics before moving on to broader implications. This could lead to a less thorough grasp of the issue at hand.
