"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. 1 of 6 Question Use the article to answer the question.

The correct answer to the question about reversing the order of paragraphs 3 and 4 would be:

The broader implications of an idea would be discussed before the reader understands what the idea is.

Reversing these paragraphs could lead to a situation where readers are presented with broader implications or conclusions about diversity (in paragraph 4) before they receive specific data and statistics that outline the current state of diversity in journalism (in paragraph 3). This could create confusion or a lack of clarity about what the issue being discussed actually is.
