Media Tarts Revised And Updated Edition by Julia Baird
How the Australian media frames female politicians
An incisive analysis of how Australian media has framed women in politics over decades, uncovering the sexist tropes, double standards, and scrutiny of appearance and demeanor that shape public perception and political careers. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and case studies from early trailblazers through recent years, it traces both progress and persistent misogyny across newspapers, television, radio, and social platforms. The updated edition incorporates the impact of online abuse, high-profile scandals, and the #MeToo era, and argues for structural reforms in journalism and party culture to create a more equitable public sphere.
