Abstract	Journalism played a significant influence in democratic nations like India. Journalists from all over the world have utilized the power of the pen to effectively address both local and global issues. Although gender equality is a fundamental human right that was brought to light when the media played a significant role in society. However some studies have found that the media is one of the business sectors where women experienced the highest level of gender inequality (IWMF, 2011; GMMP, 2020). Based on this, the current study focused on gender issues in Chennai's regional media industry from the perspective of feminist media theory. This study primarily focuses on the challenges faced by women journalists and their progress. The researcher employed a mixed-method approach including a survey and in-depth interviews to collect data. Journalists of both genders made up the study's sample.
