I am doing a project in college at the minute with the RQ: "Has the introduction of a gender quota in Ireland changed the way that the media covers female political candidates?". I have hypothesised that women will receive more issue-related coverage following the gender quota because it renegotiation of the gendered meaning of politics. Is there a theory that links how something tangible like a policy can affect the way that people think about things? People in this case actually referring to the media. I think my theoretical basis on this hypothesis is a bit tenuous at the moment.
An interesting question. Considering current research problems important for science, I think that the question concerns particularly important issues. I believe that research on this topic should be continued. Greetings
