Media Framing of Black Women's Campaigns for the US House of Representatives
(2016) p.153-170- Abstract
- How are Black female candidates’ race and gender represented in newspaper coverage of electoral campaigns? Are intersectional stereotypes of Black women in general reflected in representations of Black women in elite politics? This study employs an open ended qualitative content analysis of coverage of the 2012 general election to consider the way in which racial and gendered references frame the character, competencies, and viability of Black women running for office. I identify several intersectional frames not previously noted in scholarship focusing exclusively on race or gender.
