Gender and newsroom culture has long been a topic of research for decades. The feminist movements have long been insisting that newsrooms are not inclusive – both in terms of content and representation in the workforce.

As newsrooms are dominated by men and very fewer women are in the decision-making roles, it is obvious that the newsrooms cultures and values are defined by men, and in most of the cases, for men.

Families, friends, teachers, and community leaders all play a role in helping boys define what it means to be a man. Mainstream media representations also play a role in reinforcing ideas about what it means to be a “real” man in our society. In most media portrayals, male characters are rewarded for self-control and the control of others, aggression and violence, financial independence, and physical desirability, according to MediaSmarts, a Canadian not-for-profit charitable organization for digital and media literacy.
