Abstract
This quantitative analysis explores women's identity in television news from a feminist perspective, highlighting the challenges faced by female journalists due to gender dynamics and societal stereotypes. The research aims to identify solutions for issues like over-sexualization, gender bias, and workplace harassment, working towards a more equitable media landscape. Utilizing survey questionnaires, the study will engage media professionals to gather insights for potential reforms. It focuses on the barriers that skilled female broadcast journalists encounter in satellite TV channels (Deahl, 2017) while promoting a professional and supportive workplace atmosphere that transcends gender gaps.
To conduct the research, it is essential to address the discrimination faced by broadcast journalists and propose remedies based on expert recommendations. Suggested reforms may include creating ideal regulations for television journalism to enhance accountability and reduce violence against women (UNESCO, 2015) in the industry.
