Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research has actually found that there is still a gender bias in the media coverage of political candidates. Female candidates are more likely to be covered in articles that focus on personal characteristics and more superficial aspects of their campaigns, while male candidates are more likely to be covered in articles that focus on their policy positions and qualifications. Female candidates also receive more negative coverage overall.
