Özet

This chapter examines the inequality among women working as media professionals in Turkey and Finland and discusses whether men dominate the media sector in Turkey and Finland. While the distribution of work and power in the labour market explains some of the absolute gender differences in these media landscapes, the industry's professional requirements and applications related to males play a role of a sovereign expertise tradition. Although the ratio of male and female workers in the media sector in Turkey and Finland may seem equal, it is not overlooked that the men are asymmetrically in the top management positions. This chapter shows patriarchal-capitalist order is a system where women, minorities, LGBTI people, workers are marginalized and ignored. Woman, as being othered in this order, tries to make herself social. This secondary position of women, who are constantly subjected to attempts to exclude from the public sphere and are tried to be imprisoned in the private area, is experienced at different levels in every country, although it is everywhere in the world. This study shows that the situation of women working in the media sector in Turkey and Finland in all areas of discrimination in sectors where women suffered (at different levels) is observed. Thus, this chapter claims that the end of discrimination can not only become a socioeconomically developed country, but only by eliminating the patriarchy. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2022.
