“…It is well known that newspapers are influenced by their environment including ownership, funding, need for circulation, advertisement revenue and the readers preference for reading like-minded news (Abbring & Van Ours, 1994;Allport & Faden, 1940;Anderson, 2009;Bulkow, Urban, & Schweiger, 2013;Carragee & Roefs, 2004;Gentzkow & Shapiro, 2010;George, 2007;Gilens & Hertzman, 2000;Illia, Lurati, & Casalaz, 2013;McCauley, Blake, Meissner, & Viswanath, 2013;Price, 2003;Reddaway, 1963;Reese, 2001;Roberts & McCombs, 1994;Schudson, 2002;Shoemaker, Vos, & Reese, 2009;Sill, Metzgar, & Rouse, 2013;Weaver & Elliott, 1985;White, 2013;Winseck, 2002).…”

Food security is an issue of global concern recognized by numerous international and national agencies. It has been mentioned over twenty times in the Rio+20 outcome document The Future We Want. It is recognized as an essential human security by the World Health Organization Commission for Human Security and as a social determinant of health. Food security agendas are enacted in many places locally to globally. Media are to inform the public on issues of importance for the public. Disabled people are part of the public and disabled people are one group experiencing over proportional levels of food insecurity. We investigated the food security coverage of various newspapers through a disability studies lens. To obtain quantitative data on the visibility of disabled people and other groups in the food security discourse the following newspapers were investigated: The Globe and Mail (Canada), National Post (Canada), Calgary Herald (Canada), New York Times (USA), The Guardian (UK), The Times (UK), and the Canadian Newsstand complete, a collection of 300 Canadian newspapers. Quantitative and qualitative data on what food security issues were reported was obtained from The Globe and Mail (Canada), Calgary Herald (Canada) and the New York Times (USA). We discuss how issues reported around food security are influenced by disabled people and how they could impact disabled people. We found very little to no mentioning of disabled people within food security coverage. Our data also reveals the absence of coverage of other socially disadvantaged groups such as indigenous people and immigrants and a lack of a human rights or ethics angle. We posit that many of the food security problems mentioned are of relevance to and experienced by disabled people and other socially disadvantaged groups such as indigenous people and immigrants however the reader won't make the linkage by reading the newspapers we investigated. We conclude that the utility of the newspapers covered in advancing food security for disabled people and other socially disadvantaged groups is very low.

“…This relationship is shaped through outside-oriented and public strategies, such as the transformation of policy information to newsworthy events, voicing constituents' concerns in public debate and organizing members' participation in public action. The logic of reputation is distinct from the logic of influence and support, as it is governed by different 'media institutional' principles (Schudson, 2002), such as the news values held by journalists. It also affects the opportunities and constraints for other relationships, therefore I also explicitly refer to studies that assess the impact of the news media on the relationship with supporters and political institutions, producing a more elaborate specification of the logics of influence and support than in neo-corporatist views outlined above.…”

“…Media influence expands over both politicians' behaviour and issues they have to treat. Although researchers diverge about the extent of the media's power in the formulation of public issues (Casero-Ripollés and López-Rabadán, 2014), they generally agree that such an influence exists (Melenhorst, 2015;Schudson, 2002).…”

“…General information newspapers allow collecting data that offer a reliable socio-historical testimony (Franzosi, 1987) and display information of interest for public opinion (Schudson, 2002). Moreover, it is also a medium of critical importance for politicians as an important influencer on social and political perceptions (Kiousis, 2001).…”

Profound changes in media and political communication contributed to granting private life greater importance in political reporting. Not only did media shift their attention from parties to politicians, they also took an interest in the politicians' entourage. The first lady, as the wife of the supposedly most powerful man in the country, became an object of public attention. Her ability to comply with social demands became of capital importance for the good image of her husband. Over the course of the last century, and despite an ambiguous media towards her political empowerment, the first lady has managed to emancipate herself as a new actor on the public stage.This article studies the way in which the media became a key player in the creation, empowerment and definition of modern first ladyship in selected democratic countries: Poland, France and Spain. It does this through a mixed-methods approach: qualitative and quantitative content analysis of the press and extensive documentary research in the fields of political science, media and gender studies, political communication and first ladyship studies. The research finds that the press normalizes the presence of first ladies on the public stage and shapes public expectations toward spouses of heads of state.Keywords: media influence, first lady, gendered frame, women's empowerment, politics. Los profundos cambios experimentados por los medios de comunicación y la comunicación política han contribuido a conceder a la vida privada una importancia mayor en la cobertura política. Los medios han cambiado el foco desde los partidos hacia los políticos y sus familias. Así, la primera dama, en tanto que esposa del que se supone el hombre más poderoso del país, se ha convertido en un objeto de escrutinio público. Su habilidad para dar respuesta a las demandas sociales se erige en un elemento de importancia capital para la buena imagen de su marido. A lo largo del siglo pasado, y a pesar de una cobertura mediática ambigua, la primera dama ha logrado emanciparse y erigirse en un nuevo actor en la escena pública.El presente artículo estudia cómo se han convertido los medios de comunicación en un actor clave en la creación, empoderamiento y definición de la figura moderna de la primera dama en una selección de países democráticos: Polonia, Francia y España. La aproximación metodológica es de carácter mixto: el análisis de contenido cualitativo y cuantitativo de la prensa y una investigación documental extensiva en los campos de la ciencia política, el periodismo, los estudios de género, la comunicación política y los estudios sobre la institución de la primera dama. La investigación concluye que la prensa normaliza la presencia de las primeras damas en la esfera pública e influencia las expectativas que tiene el público respecto a las esposas de los jefes de Estado.Palabras clave: influencia mediática, primera dama, marco de género, empoderamiento de las mujeres, política.
