Abstract:
|
This study is the first to focus on sex discrimination of women journalists in Korean newspapers. Its objectives were to identify the extent and types of sex discrimination, and to discover factors associated with the discrimination.
Findings are that virtually all respondents have experienced sex discrimination and feel it is prevalent in the industry. In particular, women experienced sex discrimination for story and beat assignments, promotions and training and fellowship opportunities. They were excluded from receiving important information from managers within the newsroom and from sources. They also encountered verbal and physical sexual harassment and age discrimination.
All women working for the 10 national newspapers and three business newspapers in Korea were surveyed. Only four women were editors and 11 were assistant editors. Many talented newswomen felt pressured to leave their newspapers, and many others assume they will not be at their newspaper in five years. |
