Sexism and Campaign Coverage

Coverage Type: 

Two Q&As -- the first with Tom Rosenstiel, the director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. His research shows that the issue of gender has not dominated recent media coverage of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's candidacy as Republican John McCain's running mate, the numbers don't necessarily show the entire picture. In the second piece, Washington Post political reporter Anne Kornblut says reporters have by and large treated female candidates fairly.
