“…Candidate photos-if present in the news-were coded on their facial expressions and body languages with positive, negative or neutral categories. Given that not all facial expressions and body languages can be globally valid (Caradec, 2018), in effect, some can be culturally determined; the research team coded a subset of photos together and documented the rules of photo coding, which were discussed and updated throughout the coding process. Two college students in Taiwan were trained thoroughly, coded 10% of the news stories and demonstrated satisfactory intercoder reliability level (i.e., each of the coding items exceeds .80 of Krippendorff's alpha) before they independently coded the rest of the stories.…”

This study content analyzes the news coverage of two major presidential candidates—one populist challenger, the other female incumbent—in the 2020 Taiwan election. A nation-wide survey of voters and their newspaper uses was also utilized to verify the association between partisan news reliance and candidate evaluations. Based on the concept of partisan press, the study confirms that the coverage is highly polarizing and that it includes more horse race analysis than discussion of serious issues. Sexist and misogynistic terms were used more often by party-opponent (Blue-camp) newspapers to describe the female incumbent. The male populist candidate was portrayed more often in a personal fashion than the female candidate. The voters’ primary newspaper uses were found to be positively associated with their candidate evaluations and preferences. The study sheds new light on populist vis-à-vis gendered election coverage in the context of an Asian democracy.
