Abstract

[ Nordic countries are commonly seen as the most gender equal in the world. This has also been the case in terms of professional journalism. However, there are variations in the number of women journalists within the Nordic region. Finland appears most often as the forerunner for women journalists' whereas the road to the newsroom has been most difficult for Icelandic women. However, Finnish journalists have stayed behind their other Nordic colleagues in terms of women journalists' active drive for gender equality within the profession. A comparative approach reveals the role of sociohistorical context and individual journalists and/or media organizations challenging the existing gender order in Nordic journalism. ]
