“…The interview script was based on the theoretical and methodological model of the hierarchy of influences proposed by Shoemaker and Reese (1996;2014). Through it, we could access journalists' perceptions and experiences in a structured and organised way at different levels of analysis.…”

“…Either they choose to start a family, or they decide to move up the career ladder. Overcoming invisible hierarchical barriers is a new challenge with the feminisation of newsrooms (Lombardi 2017;Miranda 2014). Research by Karen Ross (2001) showed that British women journalists recognise difficulties in balancing work and housework.…”

“…We recognise, like Shoemaker and Reese (1996;2014), that the worldviews, attitudes, behaviours, and identities of those who make the news, in tandem with other factors, shape its language and format. We thus accept that professional and personal factors are closely related.…”

Awareness of how journalists report critical events is crucial to acknowledge the media's social consequences. Especially during emergent public health threats such as the covid-19 pandemic, whose impacts extend to professionals' private lives. Yet, little is known about how journalists' identities and personal traits influence their reports. This paper focuses on this dimension of newsmaking by inquiring about the interplay between gender and journalism practices during the covid-19 public health crisis. Resorting to semi-structured in-depth interviews with women journalists, it investigates through the lens of gender how the pandemic impacted work conditions and professionals' lives.Results reveal what the first wave of the pandemic meant to women journalists, what happened when the lockdown officially began, and the consequences of working at home. They also disclose how women journalists handled the changes in their personal and professional lives during the outbreak, helping to acknowledge how gender shapes newsroom activities in exceptional times. Overall, they show, we contend, journalism as an institution that reproduces and creates gender relations.

“…the tendency to rely on usual sources. However, as stated, in Portugal women already represent more than 40% of the journalistic class (Crespo et al ., 2017)but change did not take place (Martins and Cerqueira, 2018; Miranda, 2017; Santos et al ., 2018). The male culture of newsrooms still prevails (Byerly, 2013).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to understand challenges and constraints in reaching top leadership positions for women in the Portuguese press. Specifically, it aims at characterizing their communication and leadership styles, and at identifying main gender biases in newsrooms routines from their point of view.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative method was employed by conducting in-depth interviews with four women who have held higher management positions in Portuguese leading newspapers. Participants were asked to characterize their communication and leadership style, but also newsrooms environment, trying to understand how gender asymmetries persist and manifest. Results were analyzed using thematic analysis.FindingsWhile considering that Portuguese newsrooms are no longer environments marked by a sexist/macho environment, through increasing female participation, women still represent a minority in leadership. Leadership traits linked to male styles, including assertiveness and courage, were revealed, though mixed with a more participative/relational leadership. Also, female leaders regret when emotional ties with teams are not developed and recognized some degree of privilege towards other women through family support or not having children.Research limitations/implicationsThere is a limited number of interviews, although they represent the few top women leaders in Portuguese journalism.Practical implicationsPolicymaking recommendations derived from conclusions include participative leadership, implementing quotas, and monitoring tools of gender biases and special training.Social implicationsMedia literacy policies and open debates on main media outlets concerning female leadership and communication styles may contributes toward the acknowledgement of lingering gender biases in the industry.Originality/valueThis study contributes to a fuller insight into the identification of leadership and personal traits among women who managed to disrupt stigmas and break barriers. Their voices are seldom heard in studies focusing leadership, so results enable ascertaining whether there is a female way of leading in journalism and comprehending the sense of privilege these women perceive.
