"Não tenho medo de dar opinião": a mulher jornalista na editoria de política em João Pessoa sob uma perspectiva de gênero

Abstract

The public world was consolidated since ancient Greek only with the participation of men, so politics has been configured throughout history as a predominantly male space. Similarly, journalism as a space for visibility and advertising has long been an activity restricted to women. In this sense, political journalism still keeps these exclusion marks strongly. This work shows the challenges faced by women working in political journalism in Paraíba and the ways in which daily professional practice takes place between permanence and rupture strategies. Through long open interviews, five professionals spoke about the prejudices faced in the newsrooms of Paraíba political journalism. The narratives were studied through content analysis. Reports of disrespect, sexual harassment, discrimination in the distribution of guidelines and sources, coming from colleagues, bosses, sources and even the receiving public were common and show the need and urgency of this debate in society and especially in newsrooms and universities.
