newswomen

Women covering stories

Newswomen is the plural of newswoman—female journalists who report, anchor, or gather news for broadcast or print media.

The term parallels newsmen but sees less use than the gender-neutral journalists or reporters: The newswomen covering the White House formed their own professional network.
