This article does not address media coverage of politics but addresses media coverage of women and men in television shows. Women are often portrayed doing jobs such as childcare, nurse, household chores, and teachers while men are seen as doctors, lawyers, and the dominators of the family. Although this is changing, it still plays a significant role in most television shows. Women do not only struggle with gender roles on television but often male writers dominate female writers in the film industry. By using a different example of literacy in my paper, it will show how women are betrayed in the media besides political media. This is important to use as support for my main points in the paper. I can relate gender bias both in politics and in television to show people how this is just not happening in one area of the public media.
