Does #sexism impact the career prospects of female journalists? This Czech study in @jmcquarterly.bsky.social indicated this may well be the case. But other #gender barriers were also identified. Read all about it below.

JMCQ @jmcquarterly.bsky.social · Apr 18

Marína Urbániková & Tereza Čaladi identified the main #gender barriers in #journalism: overall inequality; family & household resp.; lower self-esteem and ambition; sexism and sexual harassment; masculine newsroom culture and “old boys’ clubs.”
