Description & Coverage
Description:

Today, a variety of gender-based threats and discrimination continue to characterize journalism. Both male and female journalists are prone to online and offline threats, casual stereotypes in their routine work, and discrimination (especially in terms of job opportunities, promotion, and pay-scale). Working in a safe and non-discriminatory environment is the right of all journalists, regardless of their gender.

The Handbook of Research on Discrimination, Gender Disparity, and Safety Risks in Journalism is a critical reference book that highlights equal rights in journalism to ensure the safety of women and men. The book investigates the level and nature of threats, both online and offline, faced by journalists as well as gender discrimination in journalism. Best practices and examples that can promote a safe working environment and gender equality in journalism are also presented. Highlighting important themes such as online harassment, sexism, and gender-based violence, this book is ideal for journalists, reporters, media organizations, professionals, researchers, academicians, and students working or studying in the fields of journalism, media and communications, human rights, and women’s studies.

Reviews & Statements

Statement from the Author of Chapter 2:
“We can never be too loud, too persistent or too strong in demanding the protection and promotion of women in media and journalism. Women's relationship to media has always been understood as central to wider spectrum of equality issues and also an indicator of a fundamental problem of gender inequality; in many ways, mass-media systems share a reflection of a global distribution of power and control. Difficulties and attacks that women face in the media professions and discrimination against women's access to decision-making posts are the problems that transcends national borders.”

– Prof. Zeljka Lekic-Subasic, Office of Eurovision News Exchange for Southeast Europe - ERNO
