For a woman in journalism, the challenges are vast. She faces society’s ingrained biases and encounters additional challenges due to her gender. We have to accept that media has always been a patriarchal field like many other fields ever since its inception. Albeit the situation has changed over the years and women in media have been able to prove that she can make it and also overcome the challenges. But still there are far more miles to go to make it a free and unbiased profession for women. The number of women as media administrators or even journalists is still lower than that of their male counterparts. Like in many other professions, the under representation of women in media is still an issue much talked about.
