Abstract
Since pivoting into a micro-blog platform, Twitter has transformed the journalism industry where it's now considered a common job requirement for many journalists in the U.S. While social media brought many perks, including providing female journalists of color (JOC) a platform that is not historically afforded for them, it has also created unprecedented levels of challenges for this group of journalists. Using intersectional feminism theory, this study aims to explore the experience of female JOCs on Twitter: what challenges they face both externally and internally of their newsrooms, and how they navigate these unique and often overwhelming issues.
