Public discourse is shaped by the media, which in turn affects political, cultural, and economic objectives. It also establishes how men and women play different roles in society. The researcher wants to explore the status of both genders in media organizations and discuss the professional and financial hindrances they have faced. Gender roles and gender-based ideas have an impact on both male and female assertiveness, as the attention and appraisal they receive based on their performance, their capacity for influence, and their inclination to become leaders. For example, males are expected to always be the household breadwinners, while females are expected to care for their husbands and children at home. Whether we're discussing gender, race, or colour doesn't matter. As with any stereotype, hinders men, and women from speaking to each other effectively. They may even incite conflict and strife, which lowers productivity and business morale.
