Description

In many countries, the majority of high profile journalists and editors remain male.

Although there have been considerable changes in the prospects for women working in the media in the past few decades, women are still noticeably in the minority in the top journalistic roles, despite making up the majority of journalism students.

In this book, Suzanne Franks looks at the key issues surrounding female journalists - from on-screen sexism and ageism to the dangers facing female foreign correspondents reporting from war zones.

She also analyses the way that the changing digital media have presented both challenges and opportunities for women working in journalism and considers this in an international perspective. .

In doing so, this book provides an overview of the ongoing imbalances faced by women in the media and looks at the key issues hindering gender equality in journalism.
