Abstract

Women journalists are often overlooked in studies of journalism from a gender perspective. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the current state of women's professional development in global journalism, historically trace the origins of marginalization of female journalists and propose strategies for achievement of gender equality in the industry. In particular, this article will explore the challenges faced by women in realizing equal participation in journalism due to gender stereotypes, different pay for equal work and gender discrimination. Also, the paper proposes strategies that can help women to solve the current dilemmas from both individual and institutional perspectives. This analysis is highly significant in that it will help enhance the career development prospects of women journalists and their living environment in the journalism industry.
