Most of media coverage is about men
Have you ever realised that more than 80 per cent of the names mentioned in the media are those of men? The more mentions a person receives in the media, the higher the chances are that this person is a man, a new study reveals.
Toronto: Have you ever realised that more than 80 per cent of the names mentioned in the media are those of men? The more mentions a person receives in the media, the higher the chances are that this person is a man, a new study reveals.
The study, led by McGill University researchers, found that five out of every six names that appear in the media are those of men."
The media focuses nearly exclusively on individuals at the top of occupational and social hierarchies, who are mostly men: CEOs, politicians, movie directors, and the like," said lead study author Eran Shor from McGill.
"The persistent gap in media coverage is due to a combination of the media's preoccupation with leaders at the expense of everyone else and the well-known 'glass ceiling' that continues to block off working women's access to leadership positions," Shor added.
