Full textAbstract:
This article discusses Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 juke-box musical film Moulin Rouge! and its failure to re-think gender despite its clever remix of late-Victorian mass media. After introductions that consider the film’s postmodern mashups of high and low, commonplaces from nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular cultures, the article examines courtesan narratives rooted in two famous novels that the film plays with: La dame aux camélias (1852) by Alexandre Dumas fils and Nana (1880) by Émile Zola. It contrasts them with the lives of real, French celebrity courtesans in order to show the narrative paths of successful powerful women at the fin de siècle that Moulin Rouge! chose not to travel, preferring to endorse, however, ironically, the conservative gender stereotype of women as objects punished for attempting to take charge of their lives and destroyed by consumption in its double sense.

e12533 Background: Numerous studies support the benefit of physical exercise in breast cancer, with a lower rate of fatigue, lower risk of recurrence and greater survival. In addition, it prevents cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity. The objective of this work is to analyze the effect of a program of physical exercise and habits of healthy life on fatigue, functionality and body composition in breast cancer patients of the Medical Oncology Unit of the Hospital Virgen de la Victoria, Malaga. Methods: Prospective study on 97 patients with breast cancer after completing locoregional treatment and systemic chemotherapy. Treatment with hormone therapy and trastuzumab was allowed. All patients were without disease, without cardiovascular history that contraindicated the program and have signed the relevant informed consent. The duration of the program was 3 months and the parameter measurement was performed before and after. The main objective was analyze cancer-related fatigue and secondary functional parameters, anthropometric and adherence to Mediterranean diet. Fatigue, parameters functional and adherence to Mediterranean diet were evaluated by tests specific and anthropometric by different measurements including use of Tanita TBF-300A. Results: 97 patients were recruited, with a median age of 52 years (32 and 69), 60% had received neo/adjuvant chemotherapy, 84% hormonal therapy and 12% trastuzumab. Most patients underwent conservative surgery. (76%). After 3 months of intervention, women improved significantly cancer-related fatigue (p = 0.000), levels of diet adherence Mediterranean (p = 0.000), as well as functional parameters. One was observed statistically significant improvement in limb functionality/mobility upper, lower limb and general functionality (p = 0.005, p = 0.013 and 0.000, respectively). No differences were observed in terms of mass index body, fat mass or lean mass. Conclusions: This study shows the benefit in functionality and fatigue of an exercise program therapeutic and healthy lifestyle habits in breast cancer operated patients. Despite a significant increase in adherence to the Mediterranean diet, it is not they observed differences in anthropometric parameters.

This study aims to see how far media positioned women, especially in their news frames. The focus of this research will be more about seeing how are violence against women cases in the mass media framework, especially online media. The selection of online media in this research is because the access of information provided by online media is much wider and easier in comparison with other media, especially mainstream mass media like newspaper. The focus of this study is on violence against women which occurred on a high school student in Bengkulu that resulted on her die. The method used in this study is the framing method of Robert Entman, by looking at the articles on Detik.com and Tribunews.com in May 2016. The results of this study indicate that Detik.com put women as objects, while Tribunews.com a little more put women as subjects, though not yet fully in the entity as a woman.

Narasi perempuan dapat ditemukan dalam berbagai macam media sejak berabad-abad lamanya. Mulai dari yang dinarasikan oleh laki-laki sampai yang dituliskan oleh perempuan sendiri, media menampilkan bermacam-macam narasi perempuan. Novel anak, sebagai salah satu bentuk media, sebenarnya juga tak luput memotret narasi perempuan dan isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan gender lainnya, meski penelitian terhadap sastra anak masih terpinggirkan dalam kalangan komunitas sastra. Penelitian ini kemudian melihat adanya narasi perempuan yang dimusnahkan dalam novel anak Hetty Feather karya Jacqueline Wilson. Menggunakan teori symbolic annihilation yang digagas Gaye Tuchman dan beberapa konsep pendukung mengenai tipe-tipe perempuan era Victoria, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bentuk-bentuk symbolic annihilation terhadap tiga tipe perempuan era Victoria. Penelitian ini kemudian menemukan adanya trivialization, omission, dan condemnation terhadap sosok angel in the house, fallen woman, dan new woman dalam Hetty Feather.Kata kunci:Era Victoria;narasiperempuan;media;sastraanak[The Symbolic Annihilation of Three Types of Victorian Women in Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather] Women’s narratives can be found in various types of media for centuries. Starting from one narrated by men to one written by women themselves, the media presents a variety of women’s narratives. Children’s novels, as one form of media, actually also capture women’s narratives and other gender-related issues, although research on children’s literature is still marginalized within the literary community. This research, then, examines the existence of the annihilation of women’s narratives in a children’s book Hetty Feather by Jacqueline Wilson. Using the theory of the symbolic annihilation proposed by Gaye Tuchman and some supporting concepts about types of Victorian women, this study aims to identify the forms of the symbolic annihilation of three types of Victorian women. This study, then, finds that there are trivialization, omission, and condemnation acts toward angel in the house, fallen woman, and new woman in Hetty Feather.

Full textAbstract:
There are two main arguments advanced in this article. Firstly, regarding the image of women perpetuated lry mass media, and secondly why media is not showing gender sensitivity when developing women images. In general mass media portray women in one amongst these five images: women image as a frame, as a column, as an available 'bed', as a saucer and an image of friendship. These images are developed and became popular within a patriarchal culture because men define women as such, and women have no power to disagree. The author proposes that today's women readers must apply more critical view in reading and analyzing the content of mass media, especially with regard to women's images.

Full textAbstract:
The condition of society is equal to the need for information presented in the mass media. This uniqueness places women in an important position in finding the existence of the media. Women have a dual position as creators and connoisseurs of mass media, because there is sufficient time to utilize the media as a solution. The growing phenomenon lies in the reality that can be formed from the conditions created between women, and conventional mass media as well as renewable media. By conducting in-depth interviews, the results show that the media has the ability to form and strengthen identities, and get closer to the media, so that they can carry out the process of adapting to the patterns presented by the media. This situation causes the emergence of women's closeness to the mass media which is shrouded in a distinctive imagination. Each will mean the information presented, and provide a process of knowing, imitating, and forming identity on the mass media.Keywords: Women, Mass Media, Medium Wise

Full textAbstract:
Heart disease is a major cause of death, disease and disability in the developed world for both men and women. Nevertheless, the evidence suggests that women are under-diagnosed both because they fail to visit the doctor with relevant symptoms and because doctors tend to dismiss the seriousness of women's symptoms of heart disease. This study examines the way that popular mass print media present the possible links between gender and heart disease. The findings suggest that the ‘usual candidates’ for heart disease are considered to be high achieving and active men for whom the ‘heart attack’ is sometimes seen as a ‘badge of honour’ and a symbol of their success. In contrast, women are less often seen as likely to succumb, but they are portrayed as if they are and ought to be worried about their husbands. Women's own bodies are described as so problematic as to be perhaps useless to diagnose, because they are so difficult to understand and treat.

Full textAbstract:
The role of mass media is not only providing information to the public to fulfill their 'right to know' and 'right to expression', but also leading the creation of societies' images, myths, behavior, knowledge, even ideologies. Mass media produce new realities through texts, define facts or reality which amongst the semiotics such process is called creating the second reality from the first reality by the media. The media have created new realities in which men are portrayed as superior and engaging in all public spheres, whereas women are visualized as the weak. The production of mass media is also closely related to capitalist system of economy, which sometimes requires certain to become the victims; and women have been the victims in this capitalist system.

Abstract Background: Whole breast irradiation (WBI) after a positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) is recommended to be treated in the supine position to facilitate inclusion of the low axilla with “high tangents” when regional nodal irradiation is not planned. Treatment in the prone position has several advantages over supine positioning including minimizing heart and lung doses for many and decreased skin toxicity for larger breasted women. We hypothesized that, using three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), the low axilla can be safely and adequately treated in the prone position with minimal toxicity and good outcomes. Methods: We identified patients who underwent post lumpectomy whole breast and low axilla irradiation in the prone position using 3DCRT from 2014 to 2020. Standard 3DCRT treatment planning included delineation of surgical cavity, breast and low axillary clinical target volumes (CTV) with 5 mm expansion to planning target volumes (PTV). The “low axilla” CTV was generally defined as the level I axilla according to the RTOG Breast Cancer Atlas. Dosimetric data for both targets and organs at risk (OARs) was extracted from approved treatment plans’ dose-volume histograms (DVHs). Toxicity and cancer outcomes were collected from the electronic medical records. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results: Seventy patients were identified. Median age was 61 years (range 34-87), median body mass index (BMI) was 30.4 kg/m2 (range 22.1-49.1), and 88.6% (N=62) had hormone sensitive, HER2 negative breast cancer. The median tumor size was 1.35 cm (range 0.07-4.5cm). For 56 patients (80.0%), a SNB was done with median of 2 (range 1-7) sentinel nodes removed - 19 (34%) with macro-metastasis (median size 4 mm, range 2.2-13mm), 21 (37.5%) with micrometastasis, and 16 (28.6%) with isolated tumor cells. Three patients had an additional node with isolated tumor cells. Thirteen (18.6%) were Nx (no nodal evaluation) and 1 had an unsuccessful SLNB with no lymph nodes obtained. Hypofractionation was used in 97.1% (N=68): 4256 cGy in 16 fractions (N=44, 62.8%) or 4000 cGy in 15 fractions (N=24, 34.3%). All targets were covered adequately. The median V95/V90 of the PTVbreast_eval, PTVlump_eval, and PTVAx were 96%/98.3% (range 76.2/91.9% - 99.6/101.4%), 100.1%/101.2% (range 87.6/94.9%-102.8/103.3%), and 95.3%/97.5% (range 82.4/91.6%-100.4/101.7%) respectively. The mean heart dose for all patients was 83.5 cGy; 82.7 cGy for right-sided tumors and 83.8 cGy for left-sided tumors. The median V16 of the ipsilateral lung was 4.25% (range 0.2 - 11.3%). Overall, toxicity was low with no grade 3 or higher events. For acute toxicity, most patients (N=54, 77.1%) reported grade 1 fatigue and had either grade 1 (N=52, 74.2%) or grade 2 (N=15, 21.4%) dermatitis. For late toxicity, 14 patients (20%) were referred to physical therapy after radiation, 7 (10%) for range of motion, 5 (7%) for arm lymphedema evaluation and 4 (6%) for other reasons. With a median follow-up of 18.5 months (range 0-63 months), 1 patient recurred both locally and regionally (1.4%) and one other patient recurred distantly. Conclusions: Patients with a positive SNB or are Nx who are recommended to have post-lumpectomy whole breast and low axilla irradiation can be safely and adequately treated in the prone position using 3DCRT with minimal toxicity and good outcomes.

This paper is a qualitative study using the Teun Van Dijk model discourse analysis method. With this method, the committee will see how women’s discourse is constructed and shaped by mass media through text analysis, social cognition and social contexts. The conclusion is that Suara NTB daily constructs women as victims, not as objects of exploitation, because women are placed as the subject of the narrator and given space to tell themselves or the events experienced.

The mass media have important role in modern society as the main channel of communication. The population relies on the media as the main source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions. Any selection of messages in the mass media will therefore have a profound effect on the entire society. A society cannot progress unless if women are given due recognition and respect. Mass media can play a significant role in reflecting social realities and in profiting the positive role of women, as envisaged in Islam. This article has examined the prevalence of violent assault against women in Pakistani society. Some works related to media and women have been stressed.

SummaryThis paper examines the effects of exposure to mass media messages promoting family planning on the reproductive behaviour of married women in Nigeria using cross-sectional data. Longitudinal data are also used to ensure that exposure to media messages pre-dates the indicators of reproductive behaviour. Cross-sectional analysis suggests that: (1) contraceptive use and intention are positively associated with exposure to mass media messages, and (2) women who are exposed to media messages are more likely to desire fewer children than those who are not exposed to such messages. Similarly, analysis of the longitudinal data shows that exposure to mass media messages is a significant predictor of contraceptive use. Thus, exposure to mass media messages about family planning may be a powerful tool for influencing reproductive behaviour in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
The study examines if women politicians of Pakistan in the media are portrayed as effective decision-makers who demonstrate their leadership abilities and dynamism in advocating women issues. It aims to study whether media was used as an organized effort to use political women to bring social and economic improvement in the status of women by examining the Pakistani media on the issues of women during Pakistan’s 2013 general elections. It explores the assumption put forward by the ‘critical mass theory’, that if women form the critical mass in the political power structure, they have a major effect on becoming a voice in the media for women issues. It is a content analysis of articles, editorials and features of four major dailies and talk shows of three major television channels during the Pakistan’s election year 2013. Findings show that women issues were just not sidelined but also women politicians were marginalized in the media to talk on women issues. The discourses on women by ‘empowered’ women were almost non-existent in the media.

Most people don't realize that recently mass media has been discrediting women. News about women by media displays them purely on physical appearance as though it had been an "image" for a woman. The most tragic fact is that the language used in mass media merely focuses on physical appearance. This fact is indicated by a huge "show" by mass media that only display women as a commodity. Indirectly, mass media have exploited women for their own interests; namely increase their ratings (for TV) and tiras (for printed press). Displaying women merely as an object can be regarded as a crime, but it happens both in the news and infotainment."Psikologi perempuan juga psikologi massa, hendaknya dipahami oleh para bapak yang kebanyakan menjadi penentu kebijakan.

Women have employed the various channels of communication that covers broadcasting, newspapers, television, radio, internet for creating awareness, to express opinions, to educate the general public and enlighten women themselves on their rights and privileges. The current state of the media as against what existed in the pre-colonial and colonial era has triggered participation of women in the development of the sector. While there are bourgeoning literatures on women generally, their role in education, home, economy, governance, agriculture, food security, child bearing and rearing, a narrower study focuses on the role of women in the development of mass media from a historical perspective, thus creating a gap in literature. To this end, this study delves into a historical appraisal of women and mass media development in the 21st century. The paper reviews existing debates on women and mass media development and goes further to assess their contributions to one another.

Exploitation of women now comes in new faces; through the mass media. Media currently has a dual role, like two sides of a coin, on one side the media serves as a mediator for the improvement and progress of the nation, on the other side contributes to the suppression of media for the benefit of market capitalism toward consumer culture women once again being the subject of image construction. Expansion of the market and the mass media can not be separated from the flow of consumerism, because the mass media (particularly advertising on television) is an extension of the market to boost sales of industrial products in the form of imagery that originates from the "mode of production". Through the process of meaning people are affected by the image created by the market and advertisement that increase their consumptive behavior. Here begins the role of advertising in blurring the identity as the supporting tool of consumerism, therefore those who identify themselves as modern men are no longer themselves but apparently no more than "Robot Man" impersonator without original identity, the principle of life pawned in the name of modernity. Women are vying to look beautiful, to buy up all whitening products, hair straightener tools, body slimming drugs, making them "Paranoid" who are restless because being haunted by old age. Actually they are aware of the exploitation, but enjoy it on the pretext of style and fashion.Key words: women, exploitation, mass media

Advertising and society both are inter-related and affect each other in many ways. Sometimes the content of advertisements is guided by society and sometimes advertisements have dominance over society. Even though an advertisement is not meant to be a moral guide, it is also true that it has certain responsibilities towards the society simply because it reaches millions of homes and influences people, directly or indirectly. The mass media are essential not only in promotion and propagation of innovative ideas but also in transformation of the society. Advertisement affects and changes the behaviour, thinking, perception and ideas of people often. As an effective audio-visual media, advertising has tremendous impact on rural Nepalese society where majority of population is illiterate. Advertisements have numerous social, cultural and economic impacts upon the viewers. Advertising is a very effective tool of communication to sensitize the people in a developing country like Nepal. It has the responsibility to play an important role in the empowerment of the women particularly regarding their rights, privileges and other facilities. In this paper attempt has been done to understand the women's attitude towards mass media advertisement particularly comprehensive, useful, influence and change in behaviour.

<p>This article examines the image of women in soy sauce advertisements in the mass media. In general, the image of them in the mass media is depicted by stereotypes and patriarchal cultures inherent in them. They are generally described as agents of domestic roles and sex objects, who must be discriminated and subordinated. The theory used in this paper is gender relationship and mass media with qualitative content analysis. The theory is applied to analyze the positions between men and women in order to realize gender equality. Using qualitative content analysis, ABC soy sauce ads “true husbands want to cook” shows that there is a reconstruction concept of the relationship between men and women from a stereotypical and patriarchal culture to be a culture of gender equality. In this advertisement, the domestic job that is identified with the duty and responsibility of woman being able to be reconstructed into a role that can be performed by all people including men. It can shape public opinion about the image of women who must not be discriminated in the mass media.</p>

The conclusion is that Suara NTB daily constructs women as victims, not as objects of exploitation, because women are placed as the subject of the narrator and given space to tell themselves or the events experienced.

This study analyzed the reactions of college women athletes to mass media images of nude and scantily clad professional female athletes. The study focused on interviews of 18- to 22-year-old female athletes about the pressure on women to pose for sexualized photographs. Using a feminist framework, the study found that some of the college athletes rejected socially constructed concepts of femininity, others criticized the professional athletes for posing, and others accepted socially constructed standards of beauty. This research suggests that young women athletes are conflicted by the images of femininity presented by mass media and react in complex ways to them.

This article discusses ethical consideration of media regarding women issues.

This study examines the association of living areas (slum and non-slum) with the selected public health-related variables in the presence of socioeconomic variables among married women and also having a child. A total of 150 women aged 18 to 49 are selected of which 50 women from slums and 100 women are from non-slum areas of Multan by applying the cluster and random sampling techniques. The cross-tabulation method is used to find the results. The dependent variable is Body Mass Index (BMI) and it is analyzed with the socio-economic variables such as mass media index, household characteristics and education. The findings exhibit that the BMI of the women living in the slum areas is low due to a low level of education, lack of mass media access, bad household structures, and poor or ignorant area. The women of the slum area have fewer mass media access, poor status of household characteristics and less education as compared to the women living in the non-slum areas. BMI is significantly affected by area, women's education and household characteristics except for physical work, job status, mass media access and husband education. The findings of this study suggest that to provide health facilities or to reduce the gap in public health, education, mass media access and households characteristics might be considered while making any decision related to the slum and non-slum areas.

The mass media can play a crucial role in election campaigns because it can influence people's points of view of a candidate, including how they responded to women candidates. This paper aims to analyze how the local media portrayed women candidates in the Local Executive Election (Pilkada) 2018 and the factors that drive it. Unlike most previous studies, which focused on women in legislative candidacy and analyzed the national mass media, this study focuses on women's candidacy in the local executive election by observing the local mass media. The author believes that the differences in the electoral system between the legislative election and the local executive one and the differences of the media scop will produce different findings. Using the explanatory sequential mixed method, the author combined the quantitative method followed up with the qualitative one to interpret this study's data. The author took a sample of 140 pieces of news from local mass media during March-23 June 2018, which was chosen by a non-probability sampling method with a quota technique. This study did not reveal any biased coverage toward women candidates due to four factors: the type of election that women participate in; the social-political capital of women candidates; the condition that women's active political participation is not a novelty; and the alignment of media to the more extensive political agenda. Therefore, it can be concluded that the neutrality of the media does not necessarily cause unbiased coverage, yet by the logic of the media, which makes the media are not passive conduits.

Women rights have always been a debatable issue in almost every society. Being a watchdog, media is expected to give voice to all members of the society regardless of their gender, background and ethnicity. Media can play a vigorous role to educating people about women-rights by addressing their concerns and anxieties. This study aims to investigate the role of mass media (i.e. television, newspapers and social media) and interpersonal communication in promoting awareness about woman rights in Pakistan. Using quantitative survey method with a sample of N=358, results of One-way ANOVA show comparison among various types of media. The study figured out that mass media in Pakistan especially print media, play a positive role in promoting awareness about women rights. However, the role of interpersonal communication has been found more effective as compared to new and old media. The study also expresses that demographics play significant role to attaining the awareness about women rights.

Full textAbstract:
Since the inception of the National Programme for Family Planning, messages on family planning (FP) have been promoted across India using different mass media platforms. Mass media plays an important role in disseminating important information among the masses, such as how reversible modern methods give women more reproductive choices than opting for permanent methods that limit their child-bearing capacity. Mass media can provide a continuous flow of information and motivation to deter women from discontinuing the methods they have opted for. However, very few studies have been conducted on this issue, especially using recently available data. This study particularly focuses on exposure to mass media and the use of reversible modern methods of family planning among married women in India. The data for this study was obtained from the National Family Health Survey (2015–16) on currently married women aged 15–49 years. The association of reversible modern method use with media exposure variables was examined, controlling for a set of independent variables from multiple levels—individual, district, state, and region. The findings from this study showed that television was the most important medium for disseminating information on FP among married women in India. Spatial analysis revealed that some districts in the north, parts of the northeast, and Kerala in South India lacked any television exposure. The results from the decomposition analysis showed that mass media exposure was associated with a 14% increase in the use of reversible modern methods. Results from the multilevel analyses showed that exposure to TV along with other media (AOR 1.57 95% CI 1.49–1.65) and exposure to FP messages through different media (AOR 1.22 95% CI 1.12–1.32) had a significant positive effect on the use of reversible modern methods even when various individual, district, state, and regional-level factors were controlled. The findings of this paper provide evidence supporting the use of mass media to promote and increase awareness of voluntary contraceptive use in India. An increase in mass media exposure coupled with improvement in coverage and services of the FP program can significantly increase the use of reversible modern methods in a cost-effective yet efficient manner among women in need of FP services.

Full textAbstract:
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the mass media has been inclined towards constructing a negative image of Islam, which is internalized by the societies in countries where Moslems are in the minority, including Japan. Modern Japanese society is very dependent on the mass media for quick and concise information. The image of Islam internalized by the Japanese society is the one associated with terrorism and backwardness. This paper presents a different representation of Islam as reflected in a Japanese manga Satoko & Nada which focuses on the friendship between a Japanese girl Satoko and an Arab girl Nada in the United States. Visual and verbal analysis on the manga reveals an uncommon image of Moslem women which is not inclined towards excessive self-limitation. The manga shows that Moslem women really have a degree of freedom to express themselves, albeit with some limitation. Besides that, it also features open-minded Moslem women who are not hesitant to welcome modernization. Those characteristics are very different from the popular beliefs about Moslem women as constructed by mainstream mass media. As one of Japanese popular media, manga Satoko & Nada serves as a counter narrative by offering a different image of Moslem women as never shown in common mass media. Mulai dari dekade 2000-an, Media massa mengonstruksi citra Islam yang cenderung negatif dan telah terinternalisasi pada masyarakat di negara-negara non-mayoritas Islam, termasuk Jepang. Masyarakat Jepang modern sangat tergantung pada media massa untuk mendapatkan informasi dengan ringkas dan cepat. Imaji Islam yang terinternalisasi di dalam masyarakat Jepang pun terasosiasi pada terorisme dan keterbelakangan. Dalam makalah ini akan dipaparkan representasi muslim yang berbeda dalam manga Jepang berjudul Satoko&Nada yang menceritakan persahabatan Satoko, gadis yang berasal dari Jepang dan Nada, gadis yang berasal dari Arab di Amerika Serikat. Dari analisis visual dan verbal terlihat konstruksi identitas wanita muslim yang tidak sepenuhnya tertutup. Diperlihatkan bahwa wanita muslim di dalam Satoko&Nada memiliki kebebasan untuk mengekspresikan dirinya walaupun terbatas. Selain itu diperlihatkan pula wanita muslim yang memiliki pemikiran terbuka dan mengikuti arus modernisasi. Karakteristik-karakteristik tersebut sangat berlawanan dengan popular belief mengenai wanita muslim yang telah dikonstruksi dalam media massa. Manga Satoko&Nada sebagai salah satu dari media populer Jepang menyampaikan wacana tandingan mengenai wanita muslim yang tidak pernah terlihat di dalam media massa.

(1) Background: Improving sexual autonomy among women in sexual unions comes with various benefits, including the reduction of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections. We examined the relationship between mass media exposure and safer sex negotiation among women in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). (2) Methods: The study involved a cross-sectional analysis of Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data of 29 sub-Saharan African countries. A total of 224,647 women aged 15–49 were included in our analyses. We examined the association between mass media exposure and safer sex negotiation using binary logistic regression analysis. The results are presented using a crude odds ratio (cOR) and adjusted odds ratio (aOR), with their respective confidence intervals (CIs). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. (3) Results: The overall prevalence of safer sex negotiation among women in sexual unions in SSA was 71.6% (71.4–71.8). Women exposed to mass media had higher odds of negotiating for safer sex compared with those who had no exposure (aOR = 1.94; 95% CI = 1.86–2.02), and this persisted after controlling for covariates (maternal age, wealth index, maternal educational level, partner’s age, partner’s educational level, sex of household head, religion, place of residence, and marital status) (aOR = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.35–1.46). The disaggregated results showed higher odds of safer sex negotiation among women exposed to mass media in all the individual countries, except Ghana, Comoros, Rwanda, and Namibia. (4) Conclusions: The findings could inform policies (e.g., transformative mass media educational seminars) and interventions (e.g., face-to-face counselling; small group sensitization sessions) in SSA on the crucial role of mass media in increasing safer sex practice among women in sexual unions. To accelerate progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal five’s targets on empowering all women and safeguarding their reproductive rights, the study recommends that countries such as Ghana, Comoros, Rwanda, and Namibia need to intensify their efforts (e.g., regular sensitization campaigns) in increasing safer sex negotiation among women to counter power imbalances in sexual behaviour.

The government of Nepal has committed to the equitable access of family planning devices/services free of cost; however, nearly a fifth of births are unintended, which ends in abortion. Since 2002, abortion has been legalised in Nepal, but many women are unaware of it. Different studies have shown positive relation between mass media and health related behaviour, its relation with abortion is yet to know. This study aims to investigate the effects of mass media for rising awareness of abortion law among women in Nepal. The study was conducted among 12,862 females of reproductive age group using the secondary data of Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), 2016. The finding shows that women reading a newspaper at least once a week were more than two times aware of abortion law than those who did not read [COR = 2.31, CI = 2.01–2.67]. Similarly, regarding the age, women aged 35 or above and exposed to mass media [aOR = 1.26, CI = 1.11–1.43] were more likely to have been aware of abortion law compared to those aged less than 25 years. The study showed a significant role of mass media for rising awareness of abortion law, so, reproductive health program planners and policymakers should emphasise the role of mass media to increase awareness on legal aspects of abortion among women of Nepal

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the research was to analyze the stylistic tonality of the texts of mass media devoted to gender issues at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The article reveals the results of the research, which testify to the peculiarities of images of men and women in Russian mass media, and the data obtained during the analysis of journalistic texts published between 1990 and 2010 became indicators of the sample of the material. Some existing and emerging gender stereotypes are being established, namely cultural and socially conditioned ideas, opinions on the qualities, attributes and norms of behavior of men and women issued in journalistic texts. The linguistic means of expressing gender stereotypes in the mass media are analyzed. The article analyzes the linguistic tools used in the mass media to evaluate men and women. An attempt is made to compare the linguistic means used in the formation of images of women in the men's magazines. The research methodology is based on understanding the mass media mission as an effective means of forming public opinion; depending on the tasks to be solved, a set of methods used: synchronous-descriptive, synchronous-comparative, content-analysis. The method of textual and discursive analysis with the use of cognitive-pragmatic methodology and functional-stylistic analysis of the text are also used. Today it is the media that become a special agent of gender socialization, actively promoting gender stereotypes formed in society, exploiting them endlessly, often with their modification, which also contributes to the creation of new stereotypes. For modern mass media research, it is becoming increasingly important to take into account concepts, stereotypes as the basis for creating ideology in the modern media space. The latter ones presuppose a targeted influence on the recipient's consciousness from the addressee's side with the help of a pre-defined idea that has a generalized character that orient mass consciousness in the given direction through stereotyped nominations. The conclusions, which were made with the help of this research, are reduced to the statement of the tendentiousness of presenting gender issues in modern Russian mass media. The publications are mainly conducted in a key, far from respectful for both men and women. Moreover, in the mass media, stereotypes of men and women that do not correspond to the true state of affairs in Russia and are not capable of creating tolerant relations between the sexes that are not capable of asserting the idea of equal rights and equal responsibility to the society of all Russian citizens outside the public are exploited, generated and replicated in the mass media depending on their gender. A well-thought-out media policy in covering gender issues is needed, aimed at the formation of healthy humane relations in the society.

Purpose This study aims to explore the main discursive images of women managers as reproduced by selected German newspapers at the time of the political debate surrounding gender quota on management boards between 2011 and 2013. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on critical discourse analysis according to Wodak (2001), an empirical analysis of media articles on women managers in two German newspapers, Welt and Bild, has been conducted. Findings The results of the study show that despite the diversity of images fabricated by the media in reference to women managers, the debate surrounding the issue of establishing a gender quota in management boards is dominated by dualistic categories and reductionist identity ascriptions, like women managers as being “over-feminine” or “over-masculine”, “exclusive” or “outsiders”. Research limitations/implications As the empirical focus of the study lays on two right-wing newspapers in Germany, the results do not allow for generalizations regarding the German media landscape. Social implications Public dispute surrounding gender quota in German companies tends to reproduce stereotypical discursive figures regarding women managers instead of challenging them. A fundamental change in the media reports on women managers is needed. Originality/value The research contributes to the analysis of media representations of women managers, by providing context-sensitive results from the current political debate in Germany. The findings reveal the stability of discursive structures over time, particularly gendered bias in the case of media representations of women managers, notwithstanding political aspirations to change established practices.

Full textAbstract:
The media presents gender stereotyping through its journalism works on a daily basis. This media framing could shape consumers’ beliefs and values. Women become the objects of media stereotyping since they are omitted from the discourse, condemned for the traditional gender role, and trivialized for being dependent. The rise of alternative media, including feminist media, challenges this situation. Magdalene, as one of the feminist media, releases a project of ‘How Women Lead’ podcast series. These podcast series are highlighted as the object to analyze how feminist media framing challenges the symbolic annihilation of women leaders. This paper intends to explore the framing of Indonesian women leaders in feminist media and to elaborate on the ways this feminist media challenges symbolic annihilation. The concept of symbolic annihilation in mass media by Tuchman (2000) becomes the basis of analysis. She classifies this concept into three categories; omission, condemnation, and trivialization. By employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this paper focuses on the power held by media for shaping people’s ideology through interpretation and explanation. The result proves that Magdalene through the ‘How Women Lead’ podcast series could promote inclusivity, opportunity, and independence as the main notions to challenge symbolic annihilation, particularly for women leaders.

Full textAbstract:
This study, a statewide follow-up to the original 1968 Chapel Hill, N.C., agenda-setting study published in 1972 in Public Opinion Quarterly, used poll and content analysis data to compare media use and agenda agreement for different types of reference groups: men vs. women, non-whites vs. whites, young vs. old, higher- vs. lower-formally educated and rich vs. poor. When individuals increase their newspaper reading, then agreement on important public issues within the gender, racial and age groups to which they belong increases to a point of near consensus. Those of higher vs. lower education also come close to sharing issues, although the sharing is less dramatic between rich and poor. Increased television news viewing also results in higher reference group consensus on key public issues. The study concludes: one major function of mass media is to enhance group consensus within the larger social system by providing issue agenda options more attractive than just those historically learned and expressed as an aspect of one's gender, race, age, level of education, or — to a lesser extent — level of wealth. Media public issue agendas compete with unique historical agendas of readers/viewers and often win, to the benefit of the social system if the system can agree on workable solutions to the important problems.

Background: Reproductive health remains a major health concern in developing countries such as Papua New Guinea (PNG). The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in PNG is the highest in the Southern Pacific region, with women having a higher risk of contracting the infection. Hence, there have been several policies aimed at mitigating the spread of the disease. One of these policies include the use of mass media as a health promotion tool to educate the population on the risk of the disease. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the association of mass media to HIV testing among women. Methods: Data were obtained from the PNG Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) of 2019. A total of 15,005 reproductive-age women was included in this analysis. Results: The results showed that women with low (aOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.39, 1.90) and high (aOR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.72) media exposure were more likely to undertake HIV testing compared to those with no media exposure. Compared to no education, women with incomplete primary (aOR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.40), complete primary (aOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.87), incomplete secondary (aOR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.85, 2.58), complete secondary (aOR= 2.33, 95% CI: 1.77, 3.09) and higher (aOR = 3.38, 95% CI: 2.57, 4.46) education were more likely to undertake HIV testing. Compared to women with the poorest wealth index, women with richer indexes were more likely to undertake HIV testing. Women living in rural areas were less likely to undertake HIV testing (aOR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.63, 0.82). However, marital status, knowledge of transmission and religion were not associated with HIV testing. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study provides strong evidence that mass media exposure increases the likelihood of HIV testing in women of reproductive age in PNG. Mass media campaigns would serve as a cost-effective health promotion tool against the spread of disease.

Full textAbstract:
This study focused on discussing violence among women in online media news. Good media can convey balanced information. Some news related to violence against women can be represented in a different discourse. Currently, the exploitation of women is carried out through more intellectual and well-packaged ways, one of which is through discourses published in the mass media, especially online media. Women in the mass media are positioned to stand out visually but are very marginalized in meaning. Suppose things like this continue to be left unchecked. In that case, it will emphasize the existence of gender inequality between women and men which has implications for increased violence and gender oppression with women who are always the victims. The problem discussed in this study is critical discourse analysis using the Sara Mills model. Sara Mills' discussion of feminist discourse theory is the center of her study. In addition, it also discusses women's issues, such as how women are represented in texts, pictures, photos, and in the news. This research examines how the text becomes biased in presenting women and how the marginalization of women is formed in weakening the position of women.
