Since journalism is considered a challenging job, few Bangladeshi women have ventured to join it over the past few years. Lately, however, a significant number of Bangladeshi women has been
getting involved in journalism, especially in reporting. By doing so,
they can now contribute to information dissemination and thus help in
shaping public opinion and in changing people's social values and
attitudes. The number of female journalists is on the rise in Bangladesh as a
result of the growing number of print and electronic media outlets. But
they are still negligible in number compared with male journalists.
In Bangladesh, currently there are 35 TV channels and 11 FM radio stations along with dozens of newspapers. "I think women can get into any kind of challenging job like journalism alongside men. And women are doing well," said Tania Rahman, who became a broadcast journalist more than five years ago. Rahman, a senior reporter of privately-owned 24-hour TV news Channel 71, said, "I find my working environment satisfactory and I'm enjoying my work."
