Abstract

The essays in the collected volume, edited by Christina Holtz-Bacha, approach the question as to the manner in which female politicians in the highest political offices are represented by the media. They do so from the perspective of communication studies. They examine whether the ever-increasing visibility of politicians such as Angela Merkel, Christina Kirchner or Ségolène Royal has also led to a change in the media’s news coverage. The focus is not only the media presence of female politicians as compared to their male colleagues but also the similarities and differences in the types of textual and visual representations.
