Hillary Clinton in the news : gender and authenticity in American politics
\"The charge of inauthenticity has dogged Hillary Clinton from the moment she entered the national spotlight. Shawn J. Parry-Giles examines questions about the authenticity and political image-making of the the former first lady-turned-senator-turned presidential candidate and the media's representation of her as one of \"the most loved and hated presidential wives in American history.\" Parry-Giles tracks Clinton as she assumed an array of roles from surrogate campaigner, legislative advocate, and financial investor to international emissary, scorned wife, and political candidate. After the 1992 campaign, the health care debate, and the Whitewater controversy, a familiar news framing developed, which disparaged Clinton for her outspoken, overly visible political presence. In this backlash, news frames stressed her transgressions in overstepping the boundaries of authentic womanhood and first lady comportment. During the Lewinsky scandal, the victimhood frame furthered her characterization as a scorned woman admonished to the private sphere as wife and mother. Parry-Giles' longitudinal study magnifies how the coverage that preceded Clinton's entry into electoral politics was grounded in her earliest presence in the national spotlight. Most disturbingly, once Clinton vied for office in her right, the news exuded a rhetoric of sexual violence, motivated by portrayals of her as an inauthentic political woman acting outside the confines of her gender. While Clinton's defiance was awe-inspiring and precedent setting, the magnitude of the disciplining and harsh rhetoric that she faced served as a warning to other women who dared to enter the political arena and violate the protocols of authentic womanhood\"-- Provided by publisher.
BOOK
Hillary Clinton in the News
The charge of inauthenticity has trailed Hillary Clinton from the moment she entered the national spotlight and stood in front of television cameras. Hillary Clinton in the News: Gender and Authenticity in American Politics shows how the U.S. news media created their own news frames of Clinton's political authenticity and image-making, from her participation in Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign through her own 2008 presidential bid. Using theories of nationalism, feminism, and authenticity, Parry-Giles tracks the evolving ways the major networks and cable news programs framed Clinton's image as she assumed roles ranging from surrogate campaigner, legislative advocate, and financial investor to international emissary, scorned wife, and political candidate. This study magnifies how the coverage that preceded Clinton's entry into electoral politics was grounded in her earliest presence in the national spotlight, and in long-standing nationalistic beliefs about the boundaries of authentic womanhood and first lady comportment. Once Clinton dared to cross those gender boundaries and vie for office in her own right, the news exuded a rhetoric of sexual violence. These portrayals served as a warning to other women who dared to enter the political arena and violate the protocols of authentic womanhood.

All the Gender That’s Fit to Print
This study examines how the New York Times covered a culturally significant event: the 2008 presidential election. A content analysis of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and their male counterparts examined coverage of “masculinized” and “feminized” issues and traits, and explicit novelty references. Analysis revealed that the Times promulgated stereotypic trends by providing heavy emphasis on women’s novelty, and more attention on masculinized content. Furthermore, a time-frame analysis showed that the Times gave men more issue and trait coverage than women as the primary and general election came to an end.

\He Will Take Care of our Security Better than Her\: Examining Socio-Cultural Conceptions of Gender in Israeli and American Press Coverage of Female Candidates for Top Political Positions, 2008-2009
This study argues that distinct differences between two cultures and two political campaigns, may result in different press coverage of women running for leadership positions. To demonstrate this, we undertook a content analysis of Tzipi Livni's and Hillary Clinton's 2008-2009 campaigns in four Israeli and American popular and elite newspapers, examining coverage of nine gender-oriented media frameworks. We found that while the press in both countries strongly emphasized gender-oriented elements in covering the two leaders, the Israeli press was significantly more gender-biased, particularly due to military and religious influences. Additionally, the popular newspapers in both countries were more gender-biased than the elite newspapers, especially in \"sensationally\" highlighting candidates' sexuality and appearance.

Int. J. Middle East Stud. 45 (2013)
The book covers news and advertising from a wide range of media outlets, including print, broadcast, internet, and select Jewish press in the United States and the United Kingdom. In other words, the secular media perceive the Haredim as a threat to the democratic nature of Israel, and the Haredim see the secular population as \"lesser Jews\"; these mutual attacks, according to journalists and editors interviewed by the author, indeed \"add oil to the fire of the secular-Haredi relations\" (pp. 129-31). Cohen concludes in the end that despite advances in technology and the ubiquitous presence of the internet, the synagogue and the Jewish home remain \"the center of Jewish spiritual life\" (p. 154).

THE HACKER CANDIDATE: TRUMP IS A ONE-MAN DDOS ATTACK ON THE MEDIA
In June of this year, in a Huffington Post piece titled \"Trump, His Virus and the Dark Age of Unreason,\" Bill Moyers and Michael Winship wrote that a virus that \"feeds on fear, paranoia and bigotry\" has existed throughout American political history (McCarthyism was one strain) and that \"today its carrier is Donald Trump.\" The virus metaphor is provocative and resonant, but lately I've been thinking of Donald Trump in a different light: not as the (perhaps) unwitting host for a pernicious political virus, but as a hacker. A media hacker who knows exactly what he's doing. Hackers are hacking the media. Trump has done essentially the same thing, but instead of offering up data dumps or secret memos or email archives, he just keeps hitting the media with nonstop Trumpisms: insult-comic-style sound bites, outright lies and assorted absurdities
