TITLE :WOMEN IN JOURNALISM: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES (A Study) (A STUDY)

ABSTRACT: Women journalists who entered this profession in 60’s and 70’s had to work and fight hard to escape from the professional ghettos into which stray women in the media were then customarily herded. A number of them managed to get into the coveted reporting stream, slowly making their way from flower shows to fires and eventually, event battle fronts of various kinds. They also forced newspaper establishments to contend with issues like maternity leave. Now, at the first decade of the century and millennium, women journalists seems to be everywhere streaming in and out of newspaper and magazine offices, bustling around in news rooms, and milling about wherever news of various sorts is being made. This trend shows women journalists do not have to undergo the same struggle as their counterparts in earlier years of entry. This research paper investigates the real situations presents to women journalists at now and the opportunities and challenges being faced by the women in journalism.
