“…Del mismo modo, considerando que los periódicos parecen estar hechos por y para el género masculino, las mujeres han perdido el interés por la prensa escrita y se han alejado de su lectura década tras década, considerándola un medio anticuado que no responde a sus intereses (McGrath, 1993). En México, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) en febrero 2019, reporta un diferencial importante por sexo (43.8% hombres, 24.8% mujeres) en los lectores de 18 y más años de edad que declararon haber leído al menos un periódico la semana anterior.…”

Esta investigación analizó el grado de equidad y estereotipos de género que se presentan en uno de los periódicos más longevos e importantes de México: El Norte de Grupo Reforma, considerando el género de los autores de las notas, de las fuentes citadas, pero principalmente de sus protagonistas (tomando en cuenta el contenido de los titulares, fotografías, secciones en que aparecen, sus ocupaciones, y si se les trata o no como víctimas). Se comprobó que a nivel local se reproducen actualmente los mismos resultados que se han encontrado históricamente a nivel mundial: Los hombres está sobrerrepresentado en todos los rubros: artículos escritos, protagonismo, testimonios, opinión experta, rol de víctimas y fotografías; además aparecen principalmente en notas sobre política y deporte, mientras las mujeres en notas del mundo del espectáculo. A pesar de que la investigación reafirma lo ya encontrado en otras latitudes, se discuten algunas importantes señales de cambio.

“…Research demonstrates that this process continues (Ericson, Baranek and Chan, 1989;Hall, Critcher, Jefferson, Clarke, & Roberts, 1978;Meadows, 2001;Soloski, 1989;Tuchman, 1978;Venables, 2008). Men usually make up a substantial majority of sources (Brown, Bybee, Wearden, & Straughan, 1987;Luebke, 1992;McGrath, 1993;McGregor & Comrie, 1995) with women averaging just 30 percent (Zoch & VanSlyke Turk, 1998).…”

This article reports on a content analysis of newspaper items from Aotearoa/New Zealand about Māori issues, focusing on level of coverage, topics and sources. Results from analysis of a representative sample of news items from six months over 2007-2008 were compared with two previous pilot studies in 2004 and early 2007. The study found that the mass media covered Māori stories at very low rates, worked a narrow range of topics and prioritised Pākehā sources over Māori, even in articles specifically about Māori issues. The authors sketch an indigenous theory of media news processes and relate these findings to already published thematic and discourse analyses of the materials from the same database to illustrate the roles of mass media coverage in the dynamics of national life in Aotearoa.

“…The papers reasserted their "male personalities." No longer finding newspapers relevant to their lives (McGrath, 1993), women were moving to other media. Although the loss of women readers was further crippling a struggling newspaper industry, the industry did not seem willing or able to include women in meaningful ways.…”

Downloaded from I Women's pages to "Womanews"Although by the 1960s some women editors were making inroads in modernizing the traditional women's pages (Streitmatter, 1998), the industry was slow to take advantage of such progress. Instead, by the mid-1970s, newspapers had transformed their women's pages into lifestyle sections, prompted by the influx of women and driven by the notion that it was time to incorporate women -as writers, readers, and subjects -more fully into the newspaper as a whole. But these moves at integration backfired, and women's newspaper readership began a precipitous decline. "The continu-

Abstract: Newspaper reading by women is in a decline even steeper than the figures for men. In order to regain them as readers, newspapers must relate directly to women by providing relevant information in a form that respects their busy lifestyles.
