Press Coverage of Mayoral Candidates: The Role of Gender in News Reporting and Campaign... - 0 views

  •  
    This article addresses how the media pays more attention to an election when there is more diversity in the race, gender being one of them. If a female is running against a male more attention is likely to be displayed about the election. This specific article addresses women running for Mayor and the different media coverage they receive. It also talks about women running for senate and how they often have negative press coverage. Coverage of women politicians is different than those of men. Geographically, women are not covered (media) the same in every state and this also effects if a women has a chance at winning. This article will help me greatly in my paper because it research specific elections and shows results from many different polls. Since it addresses different races, such as Senator and Mayors and their races, I can use this information for an example to show people how women are not covered the same in media coverage during a political election. I can also use this article to show how when a women is running against a man, there is different emphasis on certain issues.
