Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to study the ways the interaction between Israeli press women journalists and their male sources are gendered and sexually structured. The study is based on 32 semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted in 1998-1999 with women journalists working for ten newspapers: two of the three biggest daily national newspapers in Israel and eight local newspapers. On the one hand, women journalists point out that the stereotypical attitudes of the male sources are expressed in a disrespectful manner involving sexual harassment, mainly verbal. On the other hand, the central perception of the women journalists of the relations is the power they themselves feel and express: they consider the sources’ stereotypical attitude a source of strength for them, enabling them to achieve professional goals. Furthermore, they use these attitudes and this power in a conscious and deliberate way. They have a whole arsenal of tactics when working with sources, based on these stereotypical concepts about them. The choice of tactic depends on the nature of the interaction with the source and the personal characteristics of the women journalists. Contrary to expectations, the question of the legitimacy of such tactics from a professional and from a feminist point of view is not central for women journalists and their discourse on this manner focuses more on the power of women.
