"Why Journalism Has a Gender Problem"

by Corinne Segal

One factor in this disparity is the fact that more men than women hold “hard” news beats such as politics and world news, where organizations often turn to hire management. An analysis of thousands of New York Times articles this year showed that men wrote most of the articles in the seven largest sections. And for women serving as primary child caretakers — the case in the majority of American families — irregular hours and travel make it difficult to commit to these beats, the Nieman report said.

The path to management is full of obstacles for women. News organizations prefer to hire journalists from “hard” beats, which require travel and irregular hours. These demands can be too much for primary child caretakers, who are women in the majority of American households.

The Neiman report shows that managers are most frequently hired out of “hard” beats, where men hold most of the positions. Women cite the demands of child care as a major factor in their decision not to take these jobs, which require irregular hours and travel.

Men hold more “hard” beats than women. Women usually choose their children over their jobs, while men show more commitment to their work with their willingness to travel and work irregular hours.
