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

Thu Jan 14 15:05:54 GMT 2021






*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.
