“…Numerous studies argue that women’s marginalization in the media is due not only to their underrepresentation, but also to the stereotypic and often subordinating, belittling, and demeaning ways in which they are portrayed (Fiske 1996; Kang 1997; Lester and Dente Ross 2003; Lovdal 1989; Rakow and Kranich 1991; Ross and Carter 2011; Tuchman 1979; Van Zoonen 1988, 1994). In this respect, coverage of women often resembles that of ethnic minorities and immigrants (Shor 2008; Shor and Yonay 2010, 2011; Yonay and Shor 2014). When women are mentioned, it is sometimes done in ways that sexualize them (in both text and pictures, which our analysis cannot speak to) and highlight mainly their physical attractiveness.…”

In the early twenty-first century, women continue to receive substantially less media coverage than men, despite women’s much increased participation in public life. Media scholars argue that actors in news organizations skew news coverage in favor of men and male-related topics. However, no previous study has systematically examined whether such media bias exists beyond gender ratio imbalances in coverage that merely mirror societal-level structural and occupational gender inequalities. Using novel longitudinal data, we empirically isolate media-level factors and examine their effects on women’s coverage rates in hundreds of newspapers. We find that societal-level inequalities are the dominant determinants of continued gender differences in coverage. The media focuses nearly exclusively on the highest strata of occupational and social hierarchies, in which women’s representation has remained poor. We also find that women receive greater exposure in newspaper sections led by female editors, as well as in newspapers whose editorial boards have higher female representation. However, these differences appear to be mostly correlational, as women’s coverage rates do not noticeably improve when male editors are replaced by female editors in a given newspaper.

“…There is no one agreed-upon way to conduct and code content analyses. Although there has been a recent surge in quantitative computerized analyses of media content (Shor, van de Rijt, Ward, Askar, & Skiena, 2014;Shor, van de Rijt, Ward, Blank, & Skiena, 2014;Shor, van de Rijt, Miltsov, Kulkarni, & Skiena, 2015;van de Rijt, Shor, Ward, & Skiena, 2013), qualitative hand-coded discourse analysis remains very useful in penetrating the deeper meanings and nuances of the media coverage of minorities (Shor, 2008a;Shor & Yonay, 2010Yonay & Shor, 2014). In the present analysis, we used a mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses, attempting to reach a deeper critical understanding of dominant discourses without losing track of the prevalence of these discourses.…”

This article compares murder cases labeled "honor killings" with cases labeled "family/spousal murders" in the Canadian news media, exploring the construction of boundaries between these two practices. We conducted a systematic qualitative content analysis, examining a sample of 486 articles from three major Canadian newspapers between 2000 and 2012. Our analysis shows that "honor killings" are framed in terms of culture and ethnic background, presenting a dichotomy between South Asian/Muslim and Western values. Conversely, articles presenting cases as "family/spousal murders" tend to focus on the perpetrators' personalities or psychological characteristics, often ignoring factors such as culture, patriarchy, honor, and shame.

Objectives. This article examines whether newspapers' political leaning affects coverage tone for individuals in the news and whether the gender of the person covered affects this relationship. Methods. I analyze sentiment data on millions of person-names from more than 200 major American newspapers between the years 2004 and 2009, juxtaposing them with various measurements for the political leaning of these newspapers. Results. Results show mixed support for the idea that political leaning in the media affects coverage patterns for individuals in the news. While newspapers located in states that are more likely to vote for Republicans cover women in a more negative way, I find no relationship between political leaning scores and coverage sentiment for men. Conclusions. The study shows mild support for the proposition that relatively liberal newspapers are more likely to cover women and women's issues in a positive way.
