A talk by Colleen Murrell, Professor of Journalism at Dublin City University & author of a book on female reporters at the BBC.
Over the past century the role of women in work has changed beyond measure. Some of the most prominent female pioneers were engaged in the worlds of media and entertainment. The BBC began as a public broadcaster in 1922, a few years before Grace Kelly was born in Philadelphia. In those early decades it was hard for women to make their mark and have an enduring career in these fields.
In this talk, Colleen Murrell will discuss the findings of her latest book, ‘BBC Women Reporting the World: Conversations with Foreign Correspondents’, which profiles 10 well-known BBC reporters including Irish woman Orla Guerin.
