Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nan Winton" in English language version.
In the Weekly Post an article entitled 'Girls just can't read the news' stated, 'The plain fact is that the news is one of those rare TV items which requires one simple no-nonsense characteristic from its vendor – authority. And how many women do you know who can even begin to appear and sound authoritative while remaining attractively feminine?'
Television bosses at the time believed Winton was serious enough to overcome prejudiced voices in the media that said women were 'too frivolous to be the bearers of grave news.'
