Today, a variety of gender-based threats and discrimination
continue to characterize journalism. Both male and female
journalists are prone to online and offline threats, casual
stereotypes in their routine work, and discrimination (especially
in terms of job opportunities, promotion, and pay-scale). Working
in a safe and non-discriminatory environment is the right of all
journalists, regardless of their gender. The Handbook of Research
on Discrimination, Gender Disparity, and Safety Risks in Journalism
is a critical reference book that highlights equal rights in
journalism to ensure the safety of women and men. The book
investigates the level and nature of threats, both online and
offline, faced by journalists as well as gender discrimination in
journalism. Best practices and examples that can promote a safe
working environment and gender equality in journalism are also
presented. Highlighting important themes such as online harassment,
sexism, and gender-based violence, this book is ideal for
journalists, reporters, media organizations, professionals,
researchers, academicians, and students working or studying in the
fields of journalism, media and communications, human rights, and
women's studies.
