Women and News: An Overview of Audience Behaviour in 11 Countries

In Women and News: An Overview of Audience Behaviour in 11 Countries, Julia Behre and Dr. Sascha Hölig share their findings from the 2020 Reuters Institute Digital News Report on women’s news consumption in Germany.

Auszug

Even in a wealthy and democratic society like Germany, there are several difficulties when it comes to the relationship between women and the news. We can observe striking gender inequalities in both news consumption and production that must be seen in the context of broader social and political structures. German data from this year’s Reuters Institute Digital News Report reveal several findings: women show less interest in politics and in the news and access it less frequently than men.
