Intellect is pleased to present Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studies 14.3!


Special Issue: ‘The Plight of Women Journalists: Safety Risks and Gender Discrimination’


This Special Issue examines the multifaceted challenges faced by women journalists globally, exploring safety risks and gender discrimination across diverse contexts. Women journalists encounter disproportionate threats including physical violence, sexual harassment and online abuse, with 73 per cent experiencing digital violence according to recent studies. The intersection of gender with race, religion, class and ethnicity intensifies these risks. Discrimination manifests through unequal pay, limited career advancement and segregation into ‘soft news’ beats. The six articles in this collection investigate these challenges across Ethiopia, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and India, employing theoretical frameworks including postcolonial feminism and intersectionality.
