- Abstract
-
Every five years since 1995, the GMMP
has documented trends in the portrayal
and representation of women and men
in news media discourse and imagery.
The qualitative and quantitative evidence
gathered has revealed that women are
grossly underrepresented in news coverage
in contrast to men. The outcome of
underrepresentation is an imbalanced
picture of the world, one in which women
are largely absent. Further, the studies
have shown a paucity of women’s voices
in news media content in contrast to
men’s perspectives, resulting in news that
presents a male-centred view of the world - Keywords
