Lynn Povich, an award-winning journalist and author, will deliver "Women in the Workforce Today – What's Changed ... and What Hasn't" at the 26th annual Paul Miller Lecture at 11:30 a.m. April 5 in the Wes Watkins Center at Oklahoma State University.

Derina Holtzhausen, director of the OSU School of Media & Strategic Communications, says the Paul Miller Lecture exposes students and the community to successful professionals in journalism.

Povich began her career as a secretary at Newsweek before becoming a journalist. Following her successful gender discrimination lawsuit in 1970, she was named the first female senior editor in the magazine's history.

Povich's 2012 book, The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued Their Bosses and Changed the Workplace, will serve as the premise for her talk. She will sign copies of her book from 9-10:45 a.m. and again from 12:45-1:45 p.m. April 5 in the Student Union Bookstore.

A native of Washington, D.C., Povich also has served as a managing editor and senior executive producer for MSNBC.com and a consultant to The New York Times.

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, email melissa.powers@okstate.edu or phone 405-744-6357.

The OSU School of Media & Strategic Communications is one of 24 departments in the College of Arts and Sciences.
