The challenges of welfare for female journalists in the media industry (A descriptive study of the experiences of female journalists in Yogyakarta)
Keywords:
Female journalists, Well-being, Media industry, gender, feminisme liberalAbstract
This study aims to understand the welfare challenges faced by female journalists in Yogyakarta, including gender inequality, masculine culture, double burdens, and discrimination that affect their psychological, social, and professional conditions. Using descriptive qualitative methods and social reality construction theory and liberal feminism, four female journalists were interviewed through purposive sampling. The results show that despite gender-friendly policies, they still face marginalization, masculine work culture pressures, and double burdens. However, female journalists demonstrate resilience through adaptation, fighting for participation, and professionalism. This study affirms their contribution to the media industry and provides implications for more equitable, safe, and inclusive policies.
