The feminisation of political journalism: reproduction and subversion of gender reports

Abstract

Historically political journalism in France has been a prestigious and masculine specialty in the generalist media. Since the 1990s and 2000s, however, it has gradually been feminized, until today it has reached a gender distribution close to parity. This sociographic development raises the question of the dynamics of reproduction and subversion of gender relations in political journalism as an intellectual, profession that has become mixed. The authors study how French women political journalists may or may not use gender to understand the conditions in which they carry out their work on a daily basis and the strategies they set up to adjust to these constraints, denounce them, circumvent them or minimize them. More specifically, the authors focus on the relations these journalists maintain with sources in the newsgathering process, assuming that the heterogeneity of their (dis)positions explains the variations observed in the reading patterns and the strategies they deploy.
