What does a war reporter look like? The public perception of female war reporters

The paper explores the underrepresentation of female war reporters in Western media, challenging the notion that the profession is predominantly male. It examines societal perceptions of female correspondents and investigates whether these perceptions align with the reality of their experiences in the field. By analyzing the dynamics of gender within war reporting, the author aims to shed light on the challenges and biases faced by women in this profession, questioning the validity of the prevailing stereotype of war correspondents as primarily male.
