Summary/Abstract: The idea is to work on the basis of the theoretical concept of otherness, shed light on the gender dimension of the journalistic profession and deconstruct patriarchal cognitive framework and through a feminist perspective contribute to a better understanding of individual and social life in the second half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century in Vojvodina. Women in journalism as other inputs, as some studies have shown (Milivojević, 2011, Matovic 2013), regardless of the number of women in the media, professional and social power still belongs to men because they still hold the management structure in the media. Journalist members of minority communities are twice as compared to the second journalist from the majority community and male colleagues in their own community. The survey was conducted by the method of oral life stories of 16 journalists from different generations who have worked or are working in various media in Vojvodina, in the language of the majority or the languages of minority ethnic communities. The research results indicate intersectionality of otherness of the interviewed journalists, because it is not based solely on gender differences between the male and female, but is based on a variety of identity categories such as ethnicity, gender, language, age, social status, social position and ideological framework.
