This article examines the nineteenth-century Greek press as a communicative system through which gendered visibility, meanings of work, and women’s public identities were discursively constructed within a non-Anglophone national context. Drawing on qualitative content analysis of three historically significant newspapers(Aion, Akropolis and Empros), the study explores how women’s public presence, professional activity and social roles were framed, constrained, or selectively made visible. The findings show that women were predominantly represented through relational identities linked to men or family structures, while references to autonomous professional activity were rare and fragmented. At the same time, the press gradually incorporated selective forms of female visibility in areas such as education, the arts, philanthropy and socially acceptable occupations, particularly towards the end of the century. By focusing on media discourse, symbolic visibility and communicative practices, the article demonstrates that historical press narratives actively shaped gendered public identity and the symbolic boundaries of women’s work, rather than merely reflecting social change.

Global statistics confirm a growing number of women in leadership roles, yet gender gaps and underrepresentation persist. This paper reviews feminist literature addressing traditional, contemporary and alternative leadership models, noting that leadership is still predominantly conceptualised through traditional gender categories. Compared to men, women face many gender-based barriers and challenges in developing their leadership careers. In Croatia, efforts to increase gender equality and promoting gender awareness in the business sector are visible through the specialised online portal Women in Adria. The paper analyses mediated meanings and experiences of leadership, gendered challenges, and inequalities in the business sector from the perspective of women leaders from different industries and sectors. A thematic analysis of 38 articles published on the portal in 2024 identified four key themes: women on the leadership path, forms of gender (in)equality, work–life (im)balance and motherhood.

The present paper outlines a comprehensive quantitative analysis of Eastern European communication journals indexed on Scopus, a largely overlooked area of global research. Drawing on Scopus, SciVal, SCImagoJR, and manual editorial board data, we assess 36 journals over the past decade, focusing on performance, visibility, internationalisation, authorship patterns, and editorial composition. Results show modest growth in indexed journals, though most remain in the lower quartiles. Journals with a higher level of international and collaborative authorship tend to have a greater impact. A small cohort of prolific authors dominates output, often with low citation impact; some of these authors also sit on the editorial boards of their preferred journals, raising ethical concerns. Our editorial analysis reveals that journals with internationally diverse boards publish more globally and rank higher. The findings also highlight both progress and persistent structural challenges in integrating EEC journals into global scholarly networks.
