Figure critical, accurate and consistent in Mexican journalism, pointing to the woman journalist. Names such as Carmen Aristegui, Denise Dresser, Lydia Cacho, Denise Maerker, and many others, are women considered the voice of the truth about security issues, politics and society. They and many other outstanding journalists for exposing abuses of power, because he exposed the organized crime networks or publish the arbitrariness of the electoral process. Communities are currently the that make the difference and allow us to glimpse a Mexico with a communication objective, effective and, above all, analytical.

In Querétaro, the participation of women in the media is still limited. It's really interesting to see the large number of women who join the faculties of communication and media, in order to recognize no more than five names of women journalists in the fields of communication Queretaro.

The degree Malena Hernandez, host of the Coup D'Etat (Coup) at 94.7 Image, says that "it is a challenge to maintain the balance between work and family, especially when you have big responsibilities within a newscast or newspaper. Who is dedicated to journalism has to devote 24 hours. " This balance is forcing many communications specialists to choose between their personal and professional life. However, not only the role as a woman within the family is the one that limits its working life. How many times have heard cases of discrimination against women by the media companies? This is a fact that, according to Ms. Malena Hernandez, exists, but it tends to be seen as an inherent vice in the field of communication.

On the other hand, some journalists recognized in the field of communication in Queretaro, say that the reality of a community within media is as challenging and challenging as it is for men, journalists, and that the difficulties lie in the external media. The degree Estrella Alvarez, coordinator of the news of Image Group, said "even though the journalist has gained ground, and reputation, continues to face some limitations with the same information sources." Government officials and representatives of state security tend to underestimate the capacity of mind and communications specialists and tend to refrain from working in the delivery of information. Also relevant is the fact that most journalists are distinguished by research and analysis beyond the official notice, warning corrupt public figures and, therefore, to obtain information is limited.

Despite all this, is a truth that more and more women are raising their voices in contention for a truthful and objective. Ana Soria, a journalist for The magistrate said that "lack a bit of professionalism to be more risky and have more elements to support questions, issues and positions," and yet, little need for future journalists to accept the risks and the problems that the profession offers and dare to investigate and publish the notices that major changes in society of Queretaro.

The wave of women managers is arriving and with it an evolution in the journalistic genre of Queretaro.
