摘要

本研究旨在探讨在加纳农村和城郊媒体工作的女记者在工作中遇到的安全风险、她们的安全感 以及她们如何应对安全风险。本研究对加纳农村和城市周边地区广播媒体所雇用的女记者进行了 13 次半结构式访谈。在 Braun 和 Clark(2006 年)的定性数据分析六步骤指导下,对访谈记录进行了主题分析。结果发现,人身和情感安全威胁以及恶劣的工作条件是在加纳农村和城市周边地区媒体 工作的女记者面临的主要威胁。虽然工作条件普遍较差,但一些参与者认为男性比女性获得更多的福利和职业发展机会。与男性同行相比,女性偶尔会受到嘲笑,并被拒绝接受培训和职业机会。当出现违反安全规定的情况时,雇主一般不会提供什么帮助。女记者通过自我审查、避免在一天中的特定时段工作、避开冲突、政治和选举报道等安全措施来应对违规行为和不安全感。研究建议,为避免记者采取适应不良的行动,媒体机构应满足女记者的安全需求。记者自身也应关注个人安全措施,以提高自身技能。

Safety of Journalists from a Gendered Perspective: Evidence from Female Journalists in Ghana’s Rural and Peri-Urban Media
This study sought to explore the safety risks female journalists working in Ghana`s rural and peri-urban media encounter while doing their work, how safe they feel and how they are coping with safety breaches. Thirteen semi-structured interviews with female journalists employed by Ghanaian broadcast media outlets in rural and peri urban areas were undertaken. Guided by Braun and Clark’s (2006) six steps for qualitative data analysis, interview transcripts were thematically analysed. It was found that physical and emotional security threats; poor working conditions were the main threats to female journalists working in Ghana’s rural and peri urban media. While there are generally bad working conditions, some participants believe that men receive more benefits and opportunities for professional growth than women. Compared to their male peers, females are occasionally ridiculed and refused training and professional opportunities. When there are safety violations, employers generally offer little assistance. Female journalists cope with violations and insecurities by self-censoring, avoiding working during specific hours of the day, and steering clear of reporting conflicts, politics, and elections as a safety measure. The study recommends that to avoid maladaptive actions by journalists, media organisations address the safety needs of their female journalists. Journalists themselves should look out for personal security initiatives to enhance their skills.
