“…For the same reason that Geertsema-Sligh and Vos [20] stated, "gender inequalities in communication media are entwined with inequalities in all areas of life," the theme presented in both liberal feminism and gender stereotyping theories about women and leadership should find its strong resonance in the field of women and media. Despite ongoing theoretical sophistication and the changing global communication environment, McRobbie [21], who was among the first group of feminist media scholars to be concerned with women's representation in media content and in the media profession, cautioned that the issues that need to be addressed regarding women and media are fundamentally the same and revolve around the most fundamental questions of power, values, access, and exclusion.…”

This study explores the persisting gender equity challenges in Tanzania, despite the country's 62 years of independence. The underrepresentation of women in senior positions within media organisations, exemplified by the 2016 report by The Union of Tanzania Press Club (UTPC), serves as a focal point. While gender equity policies have been implemented by Press Clubs to elevate female journalists to leadership roles, the dearth of women in upper-tier management persists across media entities. The research investigates employment and advancement protocols using qualitative methods, particularly an explanatory case study approach. Data collection involves interviews and document analysis, with a focus on media house employees, totalling 12 participants. The findings highlight the potential for women's career growth under equitable promotion policies endorsed by international and grassroots initiatives. Cultural influences exacerbate gender imbalance, notably within print media corporations. The study identifies various entities offering resources to enhance diversity and equity, emphasising media portrayal and representation of women to address gender inequity. Advocating for media organisations such as the Tanzania Media Women Association (TAMWA), the Media Council of Tanzania (MCT), and the Tanzania Editors Forum (TEF) to champion gender equity, the study underscores the necessity of a robust journalist union to accelerate progress.
