I AM MORE THAN WHAT I APPEAR: THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE JOURNALISTSUnknown Date (has links)
This study investigates the phenomenon of intersectionality between race and
gender on the lived experiences of African American female broadcast journalists in the
state of Florida. Seven in-depth interviews were conducted and compared to determine
reoccurring themes taking place throughout each participant’s experience in broadcast
journalism as a result of their race and gender. Race, appearance, racial mentoring, and
professional advancement were the common themes that emerged in each interview.
Although there is a significant amount of research on African American women in the
workplace, there is a greater need to focus on the field of broadcast journalism and the
African American women who work in this field. Previous research on African American
women in the workplace shows that women of color experience different work
environments and treatment. The findings suggest African American female broadcast
journalists experience a different work environment compared to their colleagues due to
the intersection of race and gender.

Breaking barriers : oral histories of 20th century African-American female journalists in IndianaBlack, Latoya R. January 2007 (has links)
This study introduced six African-American female journalists in Indiana and provided an intimate account of their perception of media in regards to African-American female journalists of the 21st century. The women were publicly analyzed with a series of questions and candidly discussed the role of Black female journalists at work, in their personal lives, and their communities in general. The women shared similar responses in regards to four main topics: diversity in media, gender-related challenges, career enjoyment and impact on their communities. The most pressing issue of concern was diversity. All of the women agreed that diversity is ineffectively addressed and provided suggestions. The two research questions concluded (1) none of the women credited any female pioneer in Black journalism to their success and (2) the women did not credit early Black female journalists toward their decision to obtain longevity in journalism. / Department of Journalism

Patterns of healing and wholeness in characterizations of women by selected black women writersAdams, Brenda Byrne January 1989 (has links)
Some Black women writers--Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Cade Bambara, Paule Marshall, Gloria Naylor, and Alice Walker--of American fiction have written characterizations of winning women. Their characterizations include women who are capable of taking risks, making choices, and taking responsiblity for their choices. These winning women are capable of accepting their own successes and failures by the conclusions of the novels. They are characterized as dealing with devastating and traumatic personal histories in a growth-enhancing manner. Characterizations of winning women by these authors are consistently revealed through five developmental stages: conditioning, awareness, interiorizing, reintegrating, and winning. These stages contain patterns that are consistent from author to author.While conditioning and awareness of the negative influcences of conditioning are predictable, this study introduces the concept of interiorizing and reintegrating as positive steps toward becoming a winning woman. Frequent descriptions of numbness and disorientation mark the most obvious stages of interiorizing. It is not until the Twentieth Century that we see women writers using this interiorizing process as a necessary step toward growth. Surviving interiorizing, as these winning women do, leads to the essential stage of reintegrating.Interiorizing is a complete separation from social interaction; reintegrating is a gradual reattachment to social process. First, elaborate descriptions of bathing rituals affirm the importance of a woman's body to herself. Second, reintegrating involves food rituals which signal social reconnection. Celebration banquets and family recipes offer an important reminder to the winning woman that the future is built on the past. Taking the best of what has been learned from the past into the future provides strength and stability.The characterization of a winning woman stops with potential rather than completion. A winning woman must still take risks, make choices, and bear the consequences of her choices. The winning woman does not accept a diminished life of harmful conformity. She is characterized as discovering how to use choice and power. Novels included in this study are: Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Are Watching God; Toni Cade Bambara's The Salt Eaters; Paule Marshall's Brownstone, Brown Girl; The Chosen Place, the Timeless People; and Praisesong for the Widow; Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place, Linden Hills; and Alice Walker's Meridian, and The Color Purple. / Department of English
