Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Despite years of dominating journalism school classrooms across North America,
women
remain vastly underrepresented at the highest levels of newspaper leadership. Why do so many female
journalists
leave the industry and so few reach the top? Interviewing female
journalists
at daily newspapers across
Canada
, Vivian Smith – who spent fourteen years at The Globe and Mail as a reporter, editor, and manager – finds that many of the obstacles that
women
face in the newspaper industry are the same now as they have been historically, made worse by the challenging times in which the industry finds itself. The youngest fear they will have to choose between a career and a family; mid-career
women
madly juggle the pressures of work and family while worrying that they are not “good mothers”; and the most senior reflect on decades of accomplishments mixed with frustration at newsroom sexism that has held them back. Listening carefully to the stories these
journalists
tell, both about themselves and about what they write, Smith reveals in Outsiders Still how overt hostility to
women
in the newsroom has been replaced by systemic inequality that limits or ends the careers of many female
journalists
. Despite decades of contributions to society’s news agenda,
women
print
journalists
are outsiders still."--amazon.
