Women Representation On Cnn And Fox News, Ryan Burke Apr 2018

Women Representation On Cnn And Fox News, Ryan Burke

Student Honors Theses

Research question: What difference does a political bias matter when analyzing how CNN and Fox News portray women’s issues, the number of women guests on their shows, and how much airtime women receive.

Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that both networks will have relatively low coverage on women’s issues and guests on the show will be predominately male, but I do hypothesize that CNN will have a higher yield of women as guests on the show.
