A Qualitative Look at Sexual Harassment Among U.S. Newswomen ABSTRACT Kim Walsh-Childers [3044 Weimer Hall, (o) 904-392-3924, (h) 904-472-5087, kwchilde @jou.ufl.edu or [email protected]] Jean Chance [3046 Weimer Hall, (o) 904-392-0450, (h) 904-462-5513, [email protected]] Kristin Herzog [3049 Weimer Hall, (o) 904-392-8456, (h) 904-336-7300, [email protected]] College of Journalism and Communications University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 This paper describes a qualitative analysis of answers to open-ended questions in a survey of 227 female reporters, editors, photographers and graphic artists working at daily newspapers in the United States. The analysis showed that the most serious instances of sexual harassment respondents reported involved harassment by a supervisor. Most of the incidents women described would fall into the "hostile environment" category; few supervisors tried anything as blatant as offering advancement to women in exchange for sexual favors or threatening women who refused. Among women harassed by sources, the most problematic group of contacts seemed to be those involved in law enforcement -- police officers, sheriffs and sheriffs deputies, state highway patrol officers, and district attorneys. The female journalists participating in this study responded to harassment ether by confronting their harassers directly, complaining to their own or their harasser's supervisor, or doing nothing. It seems clear that women who dealt with the problem aggressively often got the best results and felt more satisfied with the outcome. The majority of respondents seemed to feel their newspapers had responded well to complaints about sexual harassment. A significant number said they did not believe there had been any such complaints in their workplace, although some of them felt confident that their newspapers' managers would deal with the problems satisfactorily. On the other hand, a substantial group of women indicated that the male managers at their newspapers would "laugh off' complaints about sexual harassment or talk to the person who complained but take not action against the harasser. 4 Who Harasses Women Journalists? A Qualitative Look at Sexual Harassment Among U.S. Newswomen During the first half of the 1990s, U.S. newspapers and other media devoted a significant amount of space to the issue of sexual harassment. Coverage of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill's allegations of sexual harassment by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, the Navy's Tailhook scandal and Senator Bob Packwood's sexual misconduct brought the issue to the forefront of national attention and to the front pages of most, if not all, of the nation's daily newspapers. For female journalists throughout the country, the issue of sexual harassment was more than just a story, however; like Hill, the female Navy officers and the women subjected to Packwood's unwanted advances, many newswomen were confronting sexual harassment as a problem in their own workplaces and in their relationships with sources and other professional contacts. For instance, in 1992, an Associated Press Managing Editors' survey of 640 journalists in 19 small, medium and large newsrooms around the United. States revealed that although most men surveyed tended to say there was no sexual harassment problem at their newspapers, women said it is a potential, if not specific problem, and that it is neither reported nor punished in most instances (Kossan, 1992). The survey also showed that: *only 30 percent of the respondents said their newspaper had clear guidelines for filing internal complaints about sexual harassment; *95 percent of the victims of sexual harassment are women; *2 percent of the men and 11 percent of the women said sexual harassment or the fear of harassment has affected their daily work habits; 5 Walsh-Childers, Chance & Herzog, Who harasses women journalists?, page 2 *half of those who said they had been sexually harassed said the harassment was in the form of annoying or degrading comments about sex. While the most prevalent form of harassment was annoying or degrading comments about sex, followed by offensive pictures or posters and annoying or degrading comments about women's bodies, the APME study found that women also reported having male associates grab their breasts and buttocks or make "jokes" to them about rape (Kossan, 1993). Writing about the study in a membership newsletter, Pam Johnson, then managing editor of The Phoenix Gazette and chairwoman of the APME Newsroom Management Committee, observed: Women in our newsrooms are impatient. They don't want to get ogled. They don't want to receive sex-related messages in their computers; they don't want to be put in the place of laughing off a sexual joke or challenging it and then having to pay for being forthright. And they definitely don't want to be fondled. But it's clear many feel vulnerable to any or all of these situations (Johnson, 1993, p. 11). Flatow (1994) found that more than two-thirds of women working in the newsrooms of Indiana daily newspapers had indeed found themselves "vulnerable" to sexual harassment. In her survey of full-time editorial employees working at 26 Indiana dailies, Flatow (1994) found that 6.6 percent of the men had experienced physical sexual harassment

  • A Course Whose Time Has Come
    A course whose time has come Paul R. Joseph Law is a central component of the democratic State. It defines the relation between the government and its people and sets the rules (and limits) of the restrained warfare of politics. Law becomes the battle­ ground for moral debates about issues such as abortion, discrimination, euthanasia, pornography and religion. Today we also debate the role Using science fiction and functioning of the legal system itself. Are lawyers ethical? Do judges usurp the legislative role? Are there too many ‘frivolous’ law materials to teach law. suits? Law and popular culture Where do the masses of people learn about the law? What shapes their views? Some peruse learned treatises, others read daily newspapers or tune in to the nightly news. Some watch key events, such as Supreme Court confirmation hearings, live, as they happen. Some have even been to law school. Many people also rely (whether consciously or not) on popular culture for their understanding of law and the legal system. Movies, television programs and other popular culture elements play a dual role, both shaping and reflecting our beliefs about the law. If popular culture helps to shape the public’s view about legal issues, it also reflects those views. By its nature as a mass commercial product, popular culture is unlikely to depart radically from images which the public will accept. By examining popular culture, we, the legally trained, can get an idea about how we and the things we do are understood and viewed by the rest of the body politic.

  • Biography -- Printable Version
    Biography -- Printable Version Peter Wolf's Historical Biography Written & Researched by Bryan Wiser, and Sheila Warren with Mimi Fox. Born in New York City, Peter grew up in the Bronx during the mid-1950's in a small, three-room apartment where he lived with his parents, older sister, two cats, dog and parakeet. For some time, Peter lived with his grandmother, an actress in New York City's Yiddish Theater. She and Peter had a strong bond, and she affectionately named him "Little Wolf" for his energetic and rambunctious ways. His father was a musician, vaudevillian and singer of light opera. Like Peter did years later, his father left home at age fourteen to join the Schubert Theater Touring Company with which he traveled the country performing light operas such as The Student Prince and Merry Widow. He had his own radio show called The Boy Baritone, which featured new songs from Tin Pan Alley, and was a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale. As a result of such artistic pursuits, Peter's father underwent long periods of unemployment that created a struggle to make financial ends meet. Peter's mother was an elegant and attractive woman who taught inner-city children in the South Bronx for 27 years. A political activist, union organizer and staunch civil rights advocate, she supported racial equality by attending many of the southern "freedom rides" and marches. Peter's older sister was also a teacher as well as a photographer who now works as an advocate for persons with disabilities. She continues her mother's tradition, often marching on Washington to support the rights of the disabled.
