Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The working world is a field that is separated according to gender. In the imagination of some societies, for example, domestic work cannot be separated from women’s gender while work in the public domain, remains the domain of men. In the context of such segregation, the work of media journalists whose work require contact with public affairs tends to be assigned to men. Although today there are a number of respected female journalists, women remain a segregated group of journalists. Against this background, this research examines women journalists life experiences managing and engaging with the ideological veil that structures media work. This research will explore these dynamics by examining the history and professional life of some female journalists.
