Do female and male journalists/reporters make the same amount of money as each other, or is there a pay divide?

There is a pay divide between male and female journalists/reporters. Females make significantly less money than males in the same profession. This is a clear example of gender discrimination and needs to be addressed.

There is no wage gap as far as I know. Both genders make the same amount of money for doing the same job. Have you heard otherwise? I may be wrong but my company pays based on your job, not your gender.

If we place the same conditions for a man and a woman reporter (same experience, same knowledge...) I believe that the man will always earn more than the woman, although it should not be that way.

Recent surveys all find that men make more on average. As a freelancer I find my male friends have an easier time getting assignments than my female friends, but I have no data to back that up.
