Project description
This project studies gendered patterns in Flemish news coverage about women politicians, using an intersectional perspective. It focuses on (1) gendering in news output by means of a quantitative
content analysis, (2) women politicians’ experiences with intersecting power structures within political journalism (in-depth interviews) and (3) the ways journalists negotiate identity in the production of
news coverage (in-depth interviews).
