“…In reality, both the Press Syndicate and the LJU have been ineffectual institutions (Richani, 2011), created only to give the impression that Lebanon respects international press organization standards (Trombetta, n.d.). Most Lebanese journalists who are accredited by the Ministry of Information are not even members in the LJU (Richani, 2011;Trombetta, n.d.).

Respondents included 27 newsroom workers, 18 of whom were females and 9 of whom were males chosen from Lebanon's nine official television stations, thereby comprising 2 females and 1 male from each television station. The gendered distribution of the respondents ensured the inclusion of both the male and female perspectives of the newsroom environment. The findings were thematically divided under cultural and social capitals, gendered news division, age and appearance, the glass ceiling, obstacles and advancement strategies. The findings revealed the Lebanese television newsroom as a field that juggles interstate and intra-state rivalries which are part of the television's politico-sectarian identity. Journalists in this field deal with its politico-sectarian complexities as well as inter-newsroom gendered interaction, subject to socio-cultural influences. This study showed that respondents' career paths are affected in fluid ways by a number of characteristics that intersect with the politicosectarian nature of the Lebanese television and gender. These characteristics, which include age, appearance, parenthood, political and religious affiliations, shape the respondents' experiences and offer them ways to comply with or resist the dominant v
