    Female Journalists, A Comparative Study of Gender Discrimination in Workplace in Turkey and Ireland. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the gender discrimination that women journalists are facing in the workplace. Comparing two countries, Ireland and Turkey, the experiences of three women journalists in Turkey and three from Ireland are included. All of the journalists are selected from different news companies. The gender discrimination aspects are payment and employment gap, unseen glass ceiling difficulties and mental and physical sexism experiences. Moreover, the steps that authorities and government are taking in order to improve workplace conditions and regulations are studied. To create a better understanding of how workplace gender discrimination is taking place in two different countries, I did a literature review first and then, created my questions to ask my interviewees. After getting the results, I combined my interview answers with the result and finally, I discussed the two countries' results.
