Gender as a multi-layered issue in journalism: A multi-method approach to studying barriers sustaining gender inequality in Belgian newsrooms

Abstract: In feminist media studies, the growing body of research on media production has indicated that journalism remains divided along gender lines. The purpose of this study is to address the lack of relevant multi-method research on gender inequality in journalism. To assess the structural position of women in the journalistic workforce, the authors conducted a large-scale survey of journalists in Belgium. The survey results were explored in more depth by conducting qualitative interviews with 19 female journalists… Show more

“…These stereotypes of women as weak entities adversely influence the distribution of stories/beats. De Vuyst and Raeymaeckers (2019) pointed out that women were restricted to covering a specific topic and were often denied challenging assignments as a tactic to protect them. This type of labeling "sends an unstated message that women are not suitable or competent for performing challenging tasks.…”

“…Sin embargo, la proporción de mujeres que trabaja en medios deportivos o en secciones de deporte de los medios generalistas es escasa en comparación con los hombres (Hardin y Whiteside, 2009), y se configura de este modo una clara forma de segregación horizontal en las redacciones. Mientras los hombres dominan la información política, deportiva, económica y tecnológica, las mujeres siguen relegadas a la información sobre cultura, educación, estilo de vida y sociedad (Gallego et al, 2002;Vuyst y Raeymaeckers, 2019).…”

“…Ante esta situación, el tono es de resignación y aceptación para no arriesgar el trabajo -no se debe olvidar la precariedad laboral en el sector (Barnes, 2017;Figueras et al, 2012;Vuyst y Raeymaeckers, 2019)-que no posibilita un cambio de la situación porque son pocas las que dicen que rebelarían o aplicarían la cláusula de conciencia. Ahora bien, en este sentido, como dicen las personas expertas consultadas, no podemos pedir ni esperar que sean las afectadas (estudiantes o mujeres periodistas) las que carguen con la responsabilidad de denunciar y provocar el cambio estructural del sistema patriarcal de las redacciones al ser ellas precisamente el peldaño más débil en la jerarquía de poder.…”

“…De fato, segue-se esta mesma perspectiva: como argumenta Ross (2001), as mulheres ainda são vistas como "intrusas" na profissão. Dessa forma, é possível pensar no jornalismo mainstream em si como uma instituição generificada (Allan, 1998;De Vuyst & Raeymaeckers, 2019;Jenkins & Finneman, 2018;Lelo, 2019;Mahtani, 2005;Ruoho & Torkkola, 2018), uma vez que mantém-se a lógica de que um determinado tipo de "feminilidade", aquela que refere aos papéis tradicionais de gênero atribuídos ao sexo feminino, não é compatível com a ideologia que rege o jornalismo, ao mesmo tempo em que se procede com uma normalização deste binarismo de gênero (Lobo et al, 2017).…”
