The Presence of Women in the Associations of Journalists in Spain
Keywords:

Abstract
Press associations have the task of defending the journalistic profession. In this paper we analyze these institutions from the perspective of gender, based on the premise that a greater presence of women in them could promote equality in the profession. To do so, we study the composition of their Boards of Directors and Chair by sex and verify if they reproduce the rules that we can find in the companies of the sector or not. The conclusion that we draw is that women are underrepresented on the Boards, but there is a better balance than in the press companies, which makes us discern an improvement in equality in the profession for the near future.Format
