About this Product
This study by Iorlumun Tarlumun explores gender disparities in Nigerian media, focusing on the underrepresentation of women in journalism despite a growing number of female graduates in mass communication. Using survey data from 322 female mass communication students at Benue State University, Makurdi, Tarlumun identifies key factors driving these disparities, including cultural stereotypes, religious influences, and the perceived hazards of the profession. The research examines the societal impact of female apathy toward journalism, highlighting the reinforcement of gender stereotypes, lack of diverse perspectives, and underrepresentation of women in leadership roles within media organizations. Findings reveal a high awareness of these issues among respondents, with cultural and religious constraints identified as the most significant barriers. Despite these challenges, many students perceive journalism as a viable profession and suggest solutions such as increasing the attractiveness of the field, encouraging female participation, and addressing gender stereotypes. Tarlumun concludes the study by advocating for inclusive policies, better incentives for women.
