“…Esta leitura, necessariamente economicista, tem levado a que o 'valor' mais procurado nos/as profissionais de jornalismo seja, essencialmente, o das competências tecnológicas e digitais (Vuyst 2020). Na prática as empresas noticiosas procuram fazer mais e ao menor custo.…”

As desigualdades de género em contexto laboral têm sido evidenciadas por estudos em diferentes áreas. O jornalismo não é exceção, sendo que a pandemia veio agravar o cenário. Embora o trabalho dos/as jornalistas seja estudado e tenha crescido a pesquisa em torno dos media regionais, ainda pouco se sabe sobre os/as profissionais que trabalham neste campo. Mais escassos são ainda os estudos de género. Através de um inquérito a jornalistas dos media regionais do centro de Portugal, procurou-se identificar desigualdades laborais. Conclui-se que as mulheres são as mais jovens da amostra (n=91), as que apresentam menos experiência, os vínculos mais precários e revelam as piores expectativas quanto ao futuro laboral.

“…And these preceding and other theorists invested in critical scholarship demonstrate that digital spaces accommodate some bodies more than others. To give but a few examples: women and minority groups are apparently increasingly facing online harassment that targets identity markers such as gender, sexuality, age, race/ethnicity (e.g., Binns, 2012;Jane, 2014;Lewis et al, 2016;De Vuyst, 2020), algorithms and data used for machine learning contain different forms of sexist, racist, ageist bias (Noble, 2018;Criado-Perez, 2021), and AI and voice-assistants have been shown to promote gender stereotypes (Chin and Robison, 2020).…”

Gender, sexuality and embodiment in digital spheres have been increasingly studied from various critical perspectives: From research highlighting the articulation of intimacies, desires, and sexualities in and through digital spaces to theoretical explorations of materiality in the digital realm. With such a high level of (inter)disciplinarity, theories, methods, and analyses of gender, sexuality, and embodiment in relation to digital spheres have become highly diversified. Aiming to reflect this diversity, this special issue brings together innovative and newly developed theoretical, empirical, analytical, and critical approaches in the study of gender, sexuality, and embodiment in digital spheres. By connecting intersectionality and digitality to one another, it adopts an integrated approach that reflects the intricacy and interconnectedness of social categories and markers of difference, privilege, performance, and discrimination. The contributions explore a range of differently situated digital cultural practices, including intimate and sexual experiences with(in) digital media, online self-presentation, expressions of digital resistance, and forms of backlash and online attacks. What connects all these articles, is their critical approach to intersectional inequalities and privileges in relation to digitality, plus their nuanced perspective on gender, sexuality, and embodiment interferentially. The final article is based on a roundtable discussion and aims to encourage interdisciplinary connections and suggests ways of doing research that builds bridges between academia and activism.

“…While they constitute a demographic majority, in quantitative terms women continue to be underrepresented on television while in qualitative terms, they continue to be approached and represented differently compared to men. Progress has been made, varying across countries and broadcasters, and the most blatant forms of stereotyping have been eradicated, but many problems persist (Byerly, 2013;De Vuyst, 2020;). One genre in which the unequal treatment of men and women is conspicuous is that of news and current affairs programs (Cann & Mohr, 2011;Niemi & PitKänen, 2017).…”

While the topic has been on the agenda for decades, women continue to be underrepresented and represented in problematic ways in the media. In news and current affairs programs on TV, female guests and experts are still a minority while they are also often pigeonholed in gender-specific roles and addressed in gender-specific ways. Based on a qualitative analysis of 25 programs made by Flemish public service broadcaster VRT, we aimed to explore good practices as well as lingering problems in order to answer our first research question: How are female guests and experts represented in VRT current affairs programs? To support our analysis, we also conducted two focus group interviews with twelve gender experts, addressing the question: How do gender experts assess the representation of female guests and experts in VRT current affairs programs? Our findings show that many of the critiques identified by previous research are still valid, although we do see clear signs of improvement. However, female guests still constitute a minority, which particularly creates problems when they are part of a male dominated panel. Based on these findings, we formulate a number of recommendations to help journalists in developing more gender sensitivity.
