Abstract
In the present scenario, Women journalists have played a significant
role in shaping the media industry, from reporting on important events
to advocating for gender equality and social justice. However, despite
progress in recent years, women journalists still need to overcome
several challenges and threats in the industry. Gender discrimination is
one major challenge faced by women journalists today. This can take many
forms, from being paid less than their male counterparts to being passed
over for promotion. Women journalists may also face bullying and
harassment in the workplace, which can make it difficult to do their job
effectively. Another challenge women journalist's face is the
underrepresentation of women in decision-making roles. Women are often
excluded from leadership positions in media organizations, making it
difficult for them to have their voices heard and advance in their
careers. Women journalists have made significant contributions to the
media industry and continue to do so. They bring a unique perspective to
news coverage and have helped to create a more diverse and inclusive
media landscape. As the industry continues to evolve, ensuring women
have equal opportunities to succeed and thrive as journalists are
important. This review paper highlights the opportunities and challenges
for women journalists in the media industry.
