- Title
Where Are the Women? The Presence of Female Columnists in U.S. Opinion Pages.
- Authors
Harp, Dustin; Bachmann, Ingrid; Loke, Jaime
- Abstract
Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that the news media are male-dominated. This study updates the extant literature on women's representation in the op-ed pages of ten U.S. newspapers. A content analysis showed that female authors are moving beyond topics traditionally linked to females and are writing columns on topics such as politics and economy. However, they remain a minority, and, thus, women's voices have yet to gain more visibility in the world of opinion writing in U.S. journalism.
