Assessing the Media's Impact on the Political Fortunes of Women
The author examines the scarcity of research on the relationship between the media, women, & politics, & traces the under-representation of women in the news media. In addition, she lists five critical areas that need further research: (1) news media coverage of women public officials, (2) the effectiveness of media strategies employed by women candidates, (3) gender differences in press-politician relationships, (4) the effect of a journalist's gender on the public's understanding of politics, & (5) the effects of the media in socializing children about the role of women in the political arena.
