Project description

In recent years, the numerical inequality between male and female journalists is increasingly eliminated. However, the field of journalism remains divided along gender lines and subtle mechanisms maintain gender inequality. The aim of this research project is to study whether and how two rencent trends in the media sector – commercialization and digitization – influence the underlying mechanisms of gender segregation in journalism.
