This article seeks is to describe how the gender logic of journalistic culture affects women´s likelihood of being appointed of senior positions and of gaining recognition in the world of sports journalism. Through interviews with journalists, this paper analyzes the gender-based division of journalistic work that determines which subjects and sports are suitable for women journalists. This barrier makes it harder for women to obtain the necessary recognition to publish a column, and becomes a glass ceiling effectively preventing them from assuming decision-making roles in newsrooms.

Palabras llave : journalism; sports; gender; sexual division of labor; inequality.
