This study employs the theoretical framework proposed by L. McNay, based on the relationship between a gendered habitus and its location of activity. It examines the gender politics in the newsroom of Shih-Hsin University’s Newsweek, which is a non-mainstream and communityoriented local publication, and explores how professional training in public journalism influences the gendered and professional identities of journalism students. The study has produced four findings. First, female reporters in the female-dominated newsroom do not feel that female characteristics are negative capital, but the actual operation of news production tends to highlight the importance of interpersonal relationships and to lead to some conflicts and controversies. Secondly, the majority of the newsroom participants are female, and they tend to choose journalistic roles based on relations with classmates and friends, and thus to reinforce the impact of peer relationships on their news practices. Thirdly, the newsroom holds ideals of dedication to the public benefit, but the actual operation follows traditional professional norms. Students tend to accept the organizational and professional norms in order to get their articles published. Finally, if a student’s gendered habitus does not meet the journalistic professionalism required by the news section, she/he would likely experience more frustration and negotiation in the internship process. |
