While the persisting issue of women’s underrepresentation in political news partly arises from biases in the social reality, journalism plays a crucial role in mediating these biases. This study proposes a multilayered framework of gendered influences in journalistic news production to understand how journalistic factors exacerbate or mitigate women’s media representation. Drawing from a mixed-methods design (content analysis, survey, interviews), journalists’ own gender emerges as the strongest predictor of gendered representations. Women’s underrepresentation is also influenced by professional roles but not by organizations’ gender guidelines. We explore how journalists perceive these influences and discuss conceptual and practical implications.

虽然女性在政治新闻中代表性不足的问题持续存在，部分原因在于社会现实中的偏见，但新闻业在调解这些偏见方面发挥着至关重要的作用。本研究提出了新闻新闻制作中性别影响的多层框架，以了解新闻因素如何加剧或减轻女性的媒体代表性。通过混合方法设计（内容分析、调查、采访），记者自己的性别成为性别表征的最强预测因素。女性的代表性不足也受到专业角色的影响，但不受组织的性别准则的影响。我们探讨记者如何看待这些影响并讨论概念和实际影响。
