A former newspaper reporter is appealing for women working in journalism to take part in a survey to help her PhD research.

Amanda Geary, a lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland, hopes to gather information from women who have worked in different types of journalism, between 1970 and the current day.

She says:

The information gathered from this study should help provide a clearer knowledge and understanding of the experiences of the professional lives of female journalists working in the UK since 1970.

The 10-minute survey can be found here, and all personal information collected will be kept confidential.
