摘要:A content analysis of 20 episodes of CCTV News during a
period of six months shows that women are treated discrimi-
nately in television news in China. Although women are
predominately used as reporters in the newscast, female corre-
spondents are segregated in story assignments. They are less likely
than males to be assigned to cover “harder” news. Men are more
likely than women to be quoted as expert sources. There is no
significant difference between male and female reporters in their
selection of men or women sources.
