Abstract
In today’s field of journalism women are creating an impact on how news is produced and packaged to a selective audience. Women journalists are interested to join the field of journalism more than ever before. Even though journalism has become a much sought after profession it is still a place where the contribution of women journalists is much lesser than their peers of the opposite gender. And it should be noted that in this time of global information penetration only a few women journalists are interested in the field of investigative journalism. This study is to conduct a research on the functions of investigative journalism in the society and the threats faced by women journalists.
The research will include a survey and analysis of the attitude of female students towards journalism as a career. The research also focuses on the threats faced by women journalists. A quantitative study will be followed. The research will bring out the overall impact of investigative journalism on women.
