摘要：

This study analyzes news coverage of 4 female political candidatesElizabeth Dole, Claire McCaskill, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palinand their male competitors, as each competed in 2 elections between 1999 and 2008. Analysis focused on novelty labeling, and feminine and masculine political issues and character traits to determine whether the coverage of women and men differed in general, and across the offices of Senator, Governor, Vice President, or President. Overall, women received more news coverage, and the gendered gap in coverage was especially large for novelty, issue, and trait coverage when women sought the executive offices of Governor and in the White House. These findings provide insight into the evolving gender dynamics of women running within the masculinized domain of politics.
