SEXIST IN ANCHOR WORLD
•
In Hennessey, Virginia (2007) interview article Broadcaster Faces Pay Suit: Exanchorwoman says TV station paid her half as much as anchorman, Jodi Jones A former
co-anchorwoman at KCBA Fox 35 tells her story of her being paid less money. She says
“has sued Clear Channel Broadcasting Inc. for allegedly paying her half as much as her
male counterpart and threatening to fire her when she demanded equal pay, Her attorney,
Christopher Panetta, said the station was paying Jones $40,000 per year, while paying
her co-anchorman, Brian Speciale, $80,000 annually. According to the lawsuit, after Jones
again demanded equal pay, the company threatened to fire her July 21. She quit in July”.
•
When it comes to news anchoring the description of the job is to deliver the news on a live
television performance to masses of people in an entertaining matter. I truly believe if a
woman can do this then no doubt in my mind she should not only have the job as anchor,
but also make as much as her male counter partner
•
Some males feel if a woman was an anchorman it defeats the whole purpose of the word
man in anchorman. There is no reason why a woman can’t have male oriented jobs, and
also no reason why males can’t have female oriented jobs.
