MOTHERHOOD IN JOURNALISM: THE PERCEIVED IMPACT OF PRECARIZATION ON THE PARENTING STRATEGIES OF FEMALE JOURNALISTS
Original language description
Precarization has a significant impact on female journalists, who are often forced to balance their precarious working conditions and family commitments. However, little research has examined how female journalists cope with these challenges. This study employs qualitative semi-structured interviews with 14 Czech female journalists who are planning to start or expand their families and identifies five strategies: (1) making individual arrangements with superiors, which can sometimes lead to unfair working conditions; (2) changing jobs, including moves to less demanding positions or career changes; (3) using family support, particularly relying on family members for household help and childcare; (4) postponing motherhood or parenthood; and (5) paying higher insurance contributions if affordable. The study underscores the need for systemic changes to ensure more stable and fair working conditions for female journalists.
