Rose Aguilar began News We Can Use as a labor of love in November, 1999. It has since grown to reach women (and men) in over 30 countries including Burkina Faso, Saudi Arabia, Hungary and Peru.

News We Can Use aims to give women a voice and publicize important stories that are either ignored by the mainstream press or don't get the attention they deserve. It also aims to provoke dialogue and provide women with the information and resources needed to prosper in both their personal and professional lives.

As Eesha Williams writes in Grassroots Journalism, it's the kind of newswriting that "doesn't just get people angry, but active; that doesn't just inform, but inspires." Rose is also a correspondent with CNET Radio in San Francisco (910 AM in San Francisco - 890 AM in Boston).

Rose has been with CNET since before the Internet became a household name--even before CNET News.com was launched. In addition to the top story of the day, Rose reports on privacy and technology's impact on society.
