Abstract
Despite the process of feminization which has swept through the journalist profession, on Croatian TV screens there are twice fewer women than men, women are twice less the focus of attention, they are most numerous in the afternoon shows while on primetime they usually make cameo appearances. The topics that women deal with are mostly of general interest, connected with entertainment or art, media or medicine and are a far cry from the dominant male topic - politics. This is paralleled by the occupations which the two sexes usually take up and which, apart from other indicators, signal a significantly lower social status of women as compared to that of men.
