Lack of protection a threat to female journalists’ coverage of environment stories in Tanzania
Submitted by fkakooza on
While female journalists are increasingly taking an interest in environment journalism and climate reporting, they remain dogged by challenges that limit their reporting capabilities.
According to African Freedom of Information Center, the Tanzanian media landscape has grown, yet gender disparities persist, with fewer female journalists despite more female graduates. Women hold lower positions and cover "soft news," while men take on the more physical tasks. Female journalists also endure unequal pay and high levels of sexual harassment.
