M.; Gosselin, TaniaWomen politicians have long faced a gendered media environment, where their novelty, potential (in)competence, family, and appearance have been over-emphasized in comparison to men. Much of this literature has focused on politicians running for office and women who hold legislative office. Little research investigates gendered news media presentations of women as heads of government. While the literature predicts that women heads of government should experience gendered differences in news coverage, there is also good reason to expect that news about government operations should not vary based on the gender of the government leader. Using their first year of online news coverage (N=11,675), we build a series of dictionaries and use automated content analysis to assess how frequently heads of government’s uniqueness, gender, family, appearance, sexual orientation, character, and competence are presented. We also assess the tone of news about each head of government. Results show that gendered coverage exists for women heads of government in potentially surprising ways. Fewer new stories are written about them, on average, than men. Women’s coverage features more feminine and masculine gendered identifies, as well as more coverage about their clothing. We find little evidence for increased personalization, and women’s character and competence is presented more positively than men’s. Though blunt, this analysis shows that news about heads of government remains gendered.Item Open Access The IAEA's "93+2" Programme: Possibilities for Lessons and Applications in Regional Verification(University of Victoria, 1996) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access In Crisis or Decline? Selecting Women to Lead Provincial Parties in Government(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06) Thomas, MelaneeThe majority of Canada's women premiers were selected to that office while their parties held government. This is uncommon, both in the comparative literature and among premiers who are men. What explains this gendered selection pattern to Canada's provincial premiers’ offices? This paper explores the most common explanation found in the comparative literature for women's emergence as leaders of electorally competitive parties and as chief political executives: women are more likely to be selected when that party is in crisis or decline. Using the population of women provincial premiers in Canada as case studies, evidence suggests three of eight women premiers were selected to lead parties in government that were in crisis or decline; a fourth was selected to lead a small, left-leaning party as predicted by the literature. However, for half of the women premiers, evidence of their party's decline is partial or inconclusive. As a result of this exploration, more research is required to draw generalizations about the gendered opportunity structures that shape how women enter (and exit) the premier's office in Canada.Item Open Access Industrial Adjustment: The Case of the Canadian Auto Industry(Lorimer, 1986) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access The International Atomic Energy Agency and the Non-Proliferation Treaty(York University, Centre for International and Strategic Studies, 1991) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access International Order(Nelson, Thomson Canada Limited, 2006) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access The Latest Wave: A Critical Review of Regime Literature(Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich Canada, 1990) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access Legitimacy, Capability, Effectiveness and the Future of the NPT(Croom Helm, 1987) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access A List of Bilateral Civilian Nuclear Co-operation Agreements: Volumes 1 - 5(2009) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access The Need to Know: Commercial Satellite Imagery and IAEA Safeguards(York University, Centre for International and Security Studies, 1998) Keeley, James F.; Cameron, Jason K.Item Open Access Non-Proliferation and Verification Response Strategies in a Maturing Technological Environment(York University, Centre for International and Strategic Studies, 1995) Keeley, James F.Item Open Access Nuclear Weapons: Verifying Controls(York University, Centre for International and Strategic Studies, 1994) Keeley, James F.
