October 27, 2023 Episode 399: The misogynistic misrepresentation of female journalists in TV and film
A new crime drama co-funded by RTE follows the mystery of a missing Irish couple in New Zealand and features a immoral female crime journalist whose character follows a tired Hollywood cliché of the profession as unethical and ruthless.

The International Women’s Media Foundation says the tired trope of sexualised female journalists persists in popular culture despite being crass, base and often offensive and which it blames for driving women out of the profession.
So will the character of Aileen Ryan flip as the writers of 'The Gone' insist she will as the drama unfolds, or is this prime time drama feeding the gender based harassment and abuse experienced by women in journalism.

Nicola is joined by Niall Donald and Sunday World News Editor Eimear Rabbitt as they delve into the misrepresentation of female journalists on the big and small screen.
