Content analysis of 159 stones broadcast on ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC during the first one hundred days of the Clinton Administration found few differences between women and men correspondents in their choice and treatment of male and female sources. Male sources were used more often than female sources and were more likely to be shown in a professional capacity, regardless of the reporter gender or policy issue covered. Results confirm that gender‐biased reporting still exists, and that women report the news no differently than their male counterparts
