Abstract
Over the past two decades, journalism has undergone rapid changes in response to new media models and changes in the global political landscape. Consequently, the way in which journalists practice has had to quickly adapt to these new circumstances, particularly since the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. These challenges are felt throughout the industry but may pose particular problems for female journalists who wish to report on conflict. These problems can range from the practical, such as the management of risk, to the cultural, such as the influence of certain types of reportage on the shaping of collective and public memory. This chapter will examine the experiences of female journalists who have covered war and conflict, and explore these experiences in relation to the myth of the hard-bitten journalist and hyper-masculinity, with consideration to the aspects that these journalists felt shaped their working lives.
