Female technology journalists report abuse is still the name of the game

Not a game … Zoe Quinn received death threats online

This article discusses how women who are going into journalism or working with technology is getting abused and that they are getting worse. It is told by a woman having to change her name on her news stories because of people being rude and calling shouting at them on a phone. 62% said they were getting sexist abuse by men and this still continues in this modern age. Some women in Columbia have left journalism because of the suffering they have in news room and only 35% of women only work in the sector of work.

1.86% believe that women should be fighting this.
2. 31% said it got worse for women
3. 39% are scared of it getting worse

I believe in my opinion this is bad and that women should be fighting with the views in journalism. They should be the ones who are keeping head up and be equal for what men get and the views they have and that no one should arguing with them. I understand the comments as its always go happen but for people to go up journalists and verbally abuse them its not right. This is a big issue because women journalism is god any journalism from people is good as long ass the story is good it shouldnt matter. Women are giving up because of this and if they go it still an effect because they might be actually good.
