The Feminization of Journalism from the Perspective of Gender Inequalities

Abstract:

Notwithstanding the paucity of national researchs focused on elucidating the inequalities that affect the trajectory of women journalists in a scenario of the restructuring of communication enterprises and gradual feminization of newsrooms, it is also worth noting the lack of systematization of the instances in which such injustices are expressed. Based on an international literature on journalism and gender, in data obtained in studies carried out in the last decade in Brazil, and also in results of reports and surveys focused on the apprehension of the work conditions of women journalists, this article intends to operationalize four vectors of analysis of inequalities that affects professionals on this sector: in the field of sexual division of labor, in the organizational and professional cultures, and in the level of routines of production.
