SECTOR 4

In the print media, the newsrooms are generally diverse, ethnically; (“We don’t
deal with ethnicity in Tanzania”) although there also appear to be certain jobs
that are gender-stereotyped. Editors and photographers are usually men, while
most of the reporters are women.
“A problem for women employees in the Tanzanian media is that it is hard for
them to advance in their careers because they usually have family responsibilities,
which mean they will leave their work to have children or won’t be able to work
the long hours that their male counterparts often can because they need to be at
home looking after the children.”
