Figure 2: Age of respondents 52 % 33 % 25 5 20 % 10 % % % 19-24 25-34 35-44 45-64 Those who were most affected by gender discrimination are often those at the lower levels of the professional tier. This could be the reason why most of the respondents were within the 25 to 34 age group, as this is the group most likely to have professionals at lower levels. Figure 3: Departments respondents worked in 61 % 5 17 17 % % % Photography Production Other Editorial Figure 3 shows the departments which the participants belonged to. Most of the participants belonged to the editorial department which in this research included Junior and Senior Reporters, Line and Sub Editors as well as Editors-in-Chief. Thus demonstrating that the newsroom was the place where gender discrimination was mostly encountered. Although Editors assumed different roles with varied impact on gender discrimination, they were clustered together because ultimately they wield some form of power in the newsrooms. Camerapersons and photographers were combined and the category‘Other’ was allocated to those whose positions could not be categorised in the groups described above; these could be Radio Disc Jockeys, Presenters, Station Managers etc. Discrimination was not only restricted to the newsroom or within the bounds or walls of the particular organisations. The figure below also shows that media workers often encountered discrimination in the field. 9
