Earlier, women were often less visible in certain areas of news reporting,

particularly in field and political journalism.

Today women are working across every part of the media industry.

The rise of television news and digital journalism has created new opportunities for women to become

reporters, editors, presenters, documentary makers, and independent digital journalists.

Journalists such as Barkha Dutt have become recognized for field reporting.

Their journey is not without challenges, but their presence continues to bring

new perspectives and experience to the stories we consume every day.

Women are not just part of the story – they are also the ones telling it.
