Summary: Journalism, Gender and Power revisits the key themes explored in the 1998 edited collection News, Gender and Power. It takes stock of progress made to date, and also breaks ground in advancing critical understandings of how and why gender matters for journalism and current democratic cultures. This new volume develops research insights into issues such as the influence of media ownership and control on sexism, women's employment, and "macho" news cultures, the gendering of objectivity and impartiality, tensions around the professional identities of journalists, news coverage of violence against women, the sexualization of women in the news, the everyday experience of normative hierarchies and biases in newswork, and the gendering of news audience expectations, amongst other issues. These issues prompt vital questions for feminist and gender-centred explorations concerned with reimagining journalism in the public interest. Contributors to this volume challenge familiar perspectives, and in so doing, extend current parameters of dialogue and debate in fresh directions relevant to the increasingly digitalized, interactive intersections of journalism with gender and power around the globe. Journalism, Gender and Power will inspire readers to rethink conventional assumptions around gender in news reporting--conceptual, professional, and strategic--with an eye to forging alternative, progressive ways forward.

The article presents a hybrid analysis combining manual content analysis of 9,131 sources in 5,544 news stories across 75 publications, with computational gender recognition producing 551,102 names from 320,228 articles across 125 newspapers. The article investigates the significance of structural features for the presence of women in the news. Results show female sources are only equal to men as ordinary citizens and children, and only in lifestyle content. Among the structural features examined, only local distribution and a circulation less than 5,000 exhibit improvements in female representation. Ownership, distribution frequency, market position, and direct press support had little or no effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Women are increasingly being appointed to more prominent on camera roles in network news, including CBS's hire of former morning news anchor Katie Couric to anchor the "CBS Evening News." But does this new prominence result in more on-air time for women overall? And how has network story coverage and placement shifted as a result of these personnel chages. This study compares data collected in 1986 and 2007 to analyze if the roles of women in network news across all shows and time slots changed between these years. This comparative content analysis of network news programming looks at issues of story type, story placement, reporter gender, and reporter race. The study expands from other studies in that includes early morning news shows, morning news programs, news magazine shows, and overnight news. We believe this is the first time that a comprehensive comparison of all news programming aired on the three broadcast networks has been undertaken. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

WOMEN athletes ,WOMEN in journalism ,WOMEN in the mass media industry ,SPORTS journalism ,MASS media & sports - Abstract
This paper addresses the question of the representation of female athleticism in the press. By means of a corpus-assisted analysis of sports reporting of the tennis athlete Maria Sharapova in both the English and Italian press, it offers a cross-linguistic description of the stereotyped language reserved for women in sports settings. The study reveals the presence in the corpus of a discursive frame which tends to trivialize the body of female athletes. This frame emerges from two basic discourse strategies, a thematic strategy, which eroticizes the female body, and a metaphorical strategy, which conceptualizes the female athlete as child-like. The study suggests that this type of representation is motivated by sexist stereotyping related to the ideological interests of male hegemony. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As of 1926, the Associated Press had not hired women to work as reporters. With the appointment of Kent Cooper as general manager, the first woman reporter was hired in that year, followed by the hiring of seven more women who worked at either the AP's New York or Washington, D.C., bureaus between 1928 and 1931. These women reporters provided American readers with numerous stories of women's activities, their style of dress, and other social news. They covered women athletes, women active in politics, and wives of officials, but they did not cover the most important assignments because that territory was claimed by their male counterparts. For the first time, AP assigned women to cover the wives of the presidential candidates, women at the political conventions, and women in the presidential inaugurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gender inequalities persist in the journalism industry in Hong Kong, as female journalists are seriously under-represented in the upper echelons of news organizations. Not unlike other countries, a major reason contributing to the phenomenon is the family–work tensions experienced by many female journalists, which lead many to leave the field at different stages in their lives. This study examines this problematic through the lens of Bourdieu's field theory. Individual journalists are seen as positioned in several overlapping fields in differentiated manners. Using survey and in-depth interviews, this study not only highlights the presence of structural inequalities in journalism and the pervasiveness of family–work tensions for female journalists, but also interrogates the conditions which allow some female journalists to handle work and family simultaneously and relatively successfully. We also discuss the implications of our findings for ways to tackle the problem of gender inequalities in journalism. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The struggle of women journalists to achieve equality in the newsroom begs the question of whether editors were reflecting social mores or practicing a more virulent form of male supremacy. The latter explanation is supported by a study of 680 editions of the newsletter of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Bulletin, from its inception in 1925 through the 1988 tenure of ASNE's first female president. Until the second wave of the women's rights movement took hold, editors saw women as sexual objects and housewives whose fragile and emotional natures left them congenitally unsuited for newsroom roles beyond the women's section. The unfiltered words of the editors betray a systemic gender bias that explains why newsroom discrimination was more entrenched than in society as a whole. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After nearly a century of publishing explicitly named women's pages, US newspapers starting in 1969 and into the 1970s began renaming them 'style' or 'lifestyle' sections, theoretically meaning they were for a general audience. This research investigates industry discourse during this time to determine what those in newsrooms were thinking about this transition. Seventy-two articles from three newspaper trade publications from 1969 through 1975 reveal that editors and reporters were most concerned with including serious content in these sections and unconcerned with the names of the sections. In fact the women editors of these style pages, who dominated the discourse, indicated that even after renaming the sections industry insiders thought of them as for and about women. The analysis also revealed that newsroom constraints, particularly those placed on lower level staff by male editors, prevented women editors of these women's/style sections from constructing the pages they desired.

This article explores the domestic travel writing of two women journalists who wrote for competing partisan papers in Toronto - Kit Coleman of The Daily Mail and Faith Fenton of The Empire. Using what I refer to as 'mobile practices', Coleman and Fenton found a middle ground between the conventional regimes of domestic femininity represented in many of the features of their woman's pages, and the emerging conditions of modern travel that allowed women to explore new places. Woman's pages and travel writing allowed the newspaper to contribute to nation-building in a multitude of ways and across a number of sites, such as the family, the city and countryside, Canada's colonial history and women's roles as the moral heads of household. In turn, mobile practices were both strategies for dealing with the emerging conditions of modernity as much as they were instruments for its continuation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the Penney-Missouri Awards competition, which was meant to raise the standards of women's pages by recognizing the sections that went beyond traditional content. Using interviews to look at the competition's history as well as framing analysis to examine the content of winning submissions, the study's findings over the period from 1960 to 1971 support a revision in the history of women 's pages. While traditional women's pages filled with society, home, and wedding news appeared in many newspapers, some sections were progressive in their content and their writing style. Recognizing the differences among women's page editors at various newspapers helps to strip away the invisibility of women in journalism history and stresses the important role played by them in pressing for change.

The article, through a series of interviews conducted with women war correspondents in Great Britain, cautions against undue optimism since sexism in the field, both within the military and among journalists, continues to prevail. The authors of the essay do not subscribe to a feminization of war news theory but instead suggest that a "journalism of attachment," which favors more human stories of civilian victims is creating a productive arena for women reporters. It is suggested that the presence of women in the frontline may also be indicative of a change in war storylines. A female perspective is allowing for greater engagement with the lives of the victims of war rather than its technical and strategic aspects.

This article studies the ways in which the interactions between female Israeli journalists and their male news sources are gendered and sexually structured. The article is grounded in feminist critiques of journalism as well as feminist organizational and work studies and it is based on examination of the narratives of individual experiences of 32 female Israeli journalists, working for 10 newspapers. I set forth the attitudes of the male sources toward the female journalists as the journalists perceive them, and then I examine the practices that the journalists adopt in order to cope with these attitudes. Finally, I both set forth and examine the views that these female journalists express concerning the legitimacy of their own practices. The research findings illustrate how gender and sexuality interact in journalism by showing the dynamic character of this process in organizations. The findings demonstrate that gender and sexuality are key aspects of the relationship between the female journalists I studied and their male sources in the Israeli context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The gender inequality in Nigerian society is reflected in men's representations of women in the news media. Research evidence continues to show that women as journalists are still largely 'invisible' in the Nigerian press because the overwhelming majority of people who report the news are men. Monitoring of the Nigerian press 1 shows that very few of the bylines in the news pages belong to women. Thus, the power to define the media agenda in Nigeria is still mainly a male privilege.

The article discusses the leadership styles of women in the field of journalism, focusing on American women journalists such as Jill Abramson, the first women executive director of the news paper the "New York Times," and Charlotte H. Hall. The author examines the experiences of women in journalism, which the author indicates has traditionally been a field dominated by men. The idea that female journalists do not possess a different interest in news stories than men is debated in light of statements made by Abramson in an article in which she argued that gender does not play a role in men's and women's reporting. The perspectives of other women journalists are presented, including Karen Magnuson, Sandra Mims Rowe, and Diane McFarlin.

The article discusses the experiences of female journalists on the prerevolutionary stage in Russia. Alexandra Sokolova, the first individual to enjoy distinction because she was both female and a journalist, took full advantage of the changing times, she joined the quasi-revolutionary circles of the young intellectuals dissatisfied with the limits of the Great Reforms. Another is A. N. Toliverova, who took advantage of her husband's social and intellectual connections to advance her writing and joined Giuseppe Garibaldi's campaign for unification. Next is A. S. Suvorin, who flirted with the left in the 1860s and swung to the right when he decided to try to work within the system, including the hiring of women.

The article argues that audience perceptions about women have not kept pace with institutional changes in the field of journalism. Thus, the spaces available for women as agents in war journalism continue to be attenuated. Given that most news about Iraq was coming from the wire services or international media agencies, the South African Broadcasting Corp. adopted a different approach in an attempt to offer an alternative view of events in Iraq. For the first time, a decision was taken to send South African reporters and cameramen, as "unilaterals," to a combat zone. One of the reporters, who arrived in Baghdad the first day the U.S. invasion began and remained throughout the bombardment of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, was a young woman named, Renee Horne. South African audiences continued to feminize Horne, demanding that she look glamorous.

The article profiles journalist Elizabeth Llorente. Suburbs are not always the most promising place to find breaking news, but Llorente has built a reputation for seeing the stories others miss. Llorente looks underneath the roofs of these communities and explores the lives of immigrants as they settle in predominantly white neighborhoods, the fears of these communities as they grapple with change, and the relationships between different minority groups as they interact with, supplant, and, compete with one another. She has transformed the immigration beat at The Record from a celebrating-diversity story in the lifestyle section to front-page news that reveals the true complexity of race and ethnic relations. Immigration is no longer the urban-enclave story it was when Llorente's parents arrived from Cuba in the 1950s. When Llorente was fourteen, her mother died unexpectedly of a cerebral hemorrhage. The following year her father died of a heart attack. Llorente went to live with her brother in Lodi, New Jersey, for a school year and then to an aunt's home in Miami, Florida before attending college at the University of Missouri, where she majored in journalism. The experience heightened the empathy Llorente brings to the stories she reports, and her understanding of the situations many immigrants struggle with. In 1995 Llorente received a tip that an Algerian woman who had come to the U.S. seeking political asylum had been held in a detention center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in prison-like conditions. Llorente broke the story, which launched an investigation by U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. The series, Shackled in the Land of Hope, won a George Polk Award. It also won Llorente a national reputation. Since then she has been offered jobs that have tempted and flattered Llorente but offers she has turned down.

This article deals with the presence of women in the field of journalism in the U.S. The American Society of Newspaper Editors only began gathering data on women in the newsroom in 1999. In 2004, its members reported that the proportion of females had returned to the level tallied that year, about 37 percent, after a two-year decline. Women of color make up just 16 percent of those. Data collected by MediaTenor, an international content analysis company, studied sourcing in 2003, and found that U.S. news programs relegated women to stereotypical fields of expertise, such as health, society and human interest. Overall, international television news stories included women only 14 percent of the time. Similarly, in 2001, women made up just 15 percent of all sources on U.S. network news, and only 9 percent of professional and political voices. The missing female voices resound loudly in their absence. Journalists often seek men to be sources not out of a willful dismissal of the talents of women, psychologists and sociologists suggest, but because of our own unconscious tendencies. In an effort to understand these processes, one team of researchers designed the Implicit Association Test. In its first year-and-a-half of public use, they found that no matter what people said they believed about sex roles, the 600,000 men and women who took the test were far more likely to associate women with liberal arts subjects and men with technical ones.
