Reporting Gender

News media plays a key role in shaping the public discourse and can have a profound influence on people’s attitudes, beliefs and behaviours. This current research has collected all news reports of violence against women and men and stories about gender—ranging from sexism to role models—from the ABC news online in 2016. By collating and reviewing these stories this study will contribute both a quantitative content analysis and a critical comparative visual and linguistic analysis with the aim to identify patterns and tendencies to reveal factors that may perpetuate violence, gender stereotypes and inequity in news media and beyond.

新闻媒体在塑造公共话语格局中发挥着关键作用，对民众的态度、信念与行为具有深远影响。本研究收集了2016年澳大利亚广播公司（ABC）在线新闻平台上所有针对女性与男性的暴力事件新闻报道，以及涵盖从性别歧视到性别榜样等各类性别主题相关内容。本研究将通过整理与审阅上述报道，同步开展定量内容分析与批判性比较视觉、语言学分析，旨在识别相关模式与趋势，揭示可能在新闻媒体及其他领域助长暴力、固化性别刻板印象并加剧不平等现象的潜在因素。
