Abstract

Politicians are the objects of political communication processes in a strongly mediatized environment where the media are citizens’ primary source of political information. Thus, a systematic gender bias in the media coverage of politicians is likely to contribute to the underrepresentation of women in politics. This panel connects papers that study the differences in journalistic portrayal of women and men in their political life, whether it be in the amount of the media attention or in the content of the media coverage.
