More women than men graduate from journalism school every year. Yet, men still dominate newsrooms and media management positions. Women are generally confined to such beats as fashion, entertainment and health, and only a handful cover politics and conflicts. The disparity between men and women is more visible in the print sector, where women selectively exclude themselves. Generally, newsrooms have no affirmative action policies to increase opportunities for women or other groups, such as people with disabilities. Newsrooms often lack the facilities and equipment to facilitate the work of people with disabilities. Nonetheless, a few newsrooms employ people with disabilities. Recruitment appears to occur along ethnic lines. There is a tendency for news organisations to be dominated by people of the same tribe and it can be deduced that ethnic favouritism is rife. In other words, discrimination in employment is common in the media. 54 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER NIGERIA 2015
