Book description
The Gendered Newsroom is a vivid exploration of the gendered production of news - and in particular the experiences of women – in the Australian print news media. The book engages with the question of how gender shapes newsroom culture and in so doing is concerned with production practices and cultural processes. It considers the dilemmas, constraints, negotiations and compromises which shape journalists’ day-to-day routines.
North’s astute empirical research provides a distinctive account of how Australian print news media journalists experience newsroom culture. The in-depth interviews with journalists ranging in age and industry experience reveal a complex culture coming to terms with dramatic industry change.
