Abstract

V originále

Gender influence on journalistic profession practice has been analysed by scholars as an important part of studies on media production worldwide. While some researches identify gender as a powerful factor and show that women and men differ in approaching to the journalistic profession and its values (e.g. Correa, Harp 2011; Morna, Rama 2009; Robinson 2004), others do not show gender specific distinctions (Hanitzsch, Hanusch 2012; Lavie 2004). However, the existing debate on the issue lacks data dealing with Czech journalists as the topic remains largely at the periphery of Czech researchers' attention. This paper thus presents the very first findings on the Czech female and male journalists and their practice of the profession through gender lens.
