Women, today are still left behind men when it comes to journalism and many others industires. a gender bias still exists when people decide who they are going to listen to and read about in the newspaper. Bylines are still dominated by men, and woman are left in their shadows. Unless stories have to do with fashion or food, a womans name most likely won't appear as much as a mans name will.
Society today still picks men over women becuase they are the more dominate race and women are seen as the weaker sex. Do people still believe women belong inside the house being a house wife? Possibly. But, fortunately for us, there have been many women in journalism who have paved the way for up and coming female journalists. They have started at the very bottom and worked their way up to the top despite the rejection they got along the way. Competing side by side with men and still being able to be recognized for all of their acomplishments.
A group called Journalism & Women Symposium, also known as JAWS, was created with one soul purpose, “JAWS supports the professional empowerment and personal growth of women in journalism and works toward a more accurate portrayal of the whole society.”
