Abstract :

Mass media is considered as the fourth pillar of democracy. It has made a great impact on our lives. Media has always been male– dominated. Women have gradually carved out a space for themselves with their innovative ideas, confidence, punctuality, and hard work; women journalists in media have assumed a new dimension. It is interesting to note that there has been a tremendous metamorphosis in the composition of journalistic forces in Karnataka. They are working in Kannada newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV channels, online newspapers, dotcoms, and news portals. There are about 400 women journalists, including part– timers, working in different media organizations in the capital city of Bengaluru. The present study focuses on the changing facets and status of women journalists in leading Kannada TV channels in Karnataka particularly in Bengaluru. The study sample consists of about 50 journalists including both men and women journalists involved in production and administrative positions in various Kannada TV channels. A detailed qualitative analyses will be made based on the in– depth interview method.
