Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse whether the increasing number of women working in newsrooms stands for equality. This research is based on two countries France and Ireland. To conduct this research, seventeen female journalists in total were interviewed. All the participants are working in print and digital news media across France and Ireland. The participants, even though passionate by their job, reported a certain discrimination in the workplace. This discrimination covers the gender pay gap, the problematic around motherhood, the ongoing sexism in the newsrooms and a fewer women can break through the glass ceiling. Journalists who participate in this research gave ideas to potentially improve female journalists’ work lives.
