GERBER has been approved for the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Joseph P. Bernt Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract GERBER, MELISSA A., M.S., August 2008, Journalism Gendered Crisis Reporting: A Content Analysis of Crisis Coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC, 1969 - 2007 (55 pp.) Director of Thesis: Joseph P. Bernt Previous studies assess the representation of women in journalism; however, few specifically look at broadcast journalism and crisis reporting. This content analysis analyzes approximately 40 years of national network news crisis coverage to determine the representation of female journalists in crisis reporting. Overall, this study found while female journalists were responsible for more crisis coverage with the progression of time, women were still underrepresented. Furthermore, through categorizing the crises, this study found an association between the nature of the crisis situation and the gender of the reporters covering it; overall, female journalists were most underrepresented in accident crisis coverage.
