[Commlist] New Report: (PDF) Women Journalists in Local Media in Turkey Report

*The Media Research Association has published "Women Journalists in 
Local Media in Turkey Report". *

In this study, 30 women journalists from local media organizations based 
in various cities in Turkey described the problems they experienced in 
local media and the obstacles standing in the way of women who want to 
perform better in their career. Interviews with these journalists reveal 
that, in certain aspects, women in local media have similar experiences 
of working conditions; however, in other issues, their stories are 
rather different from each other. According to an overall evaluation of 
the research findings, one of the main conclusions is that women 
journalists in local news outlets are subjected to gender-based 
obstacles and discrimination in their work, and the specific working 
conditions in these organizations effectively result in gender 
inequality. In our findings, the outstanding problems and obstacles that 
are witnessed by all respondents are available in the full report.
