The study examines if women politicians of Pakistan in the media are portrayed as effective decision-makers who demonstrate their leadership abilities and dynamism in advocating women issues. It aims to study whether media was used as an organized effort to use political women to bring social and economic improvement in the status of women by examining the Pakistani media on the issues of women during Pakistan’s 2013 general elections. It explores the assumption put forward by the ‘critical mass theory’, that if women form the critical mass in the political power structure, they have a major effect on becoming a voice in the media for women issues. It is a content analysis of articles, editorials and features of four major dailies and talk shows of three major television channels during the Pakistan’s election year 2013. Findings show that women issues were just not sidelined but also women politicians were marginalized in the media to talk on women issues. The discourses on women by ‘empowered’ women were almost non-existent in the media.

Abstract: This paper examines the interaction between women's groups and the media between 1980 and 1995. In particular, this analysis documents the relationship between the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, and REAL Women of Canada and newspaper and magazine journalists. Using extensive examples from major Canadian daily newspapers and magazines and drawing on individual interviews with group leaders on whom the media focused, this study demonstrates how journalists stressed the personal, private details about the women leaders of the more feminist groups in an effort to contain the role of women in the public sphere. Résumé: Cet article examine l'interaction entre les groupes de femmes et les médias de 1980 à 1995. En particulier, cette analyse documente la relation entre d'une part le Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women ("Le Conseil consultatif canadien sur la condition de la femme"), le National Action Committee on the Status of Women ("Le Comité d'action national sur la condition de la femme") et REAL Women of Canada ("Femmes "réelles'' du Canada") et d'autre part les reporters de journaux et revues. Utilisant des exemples détaillés provenant de revues et de quotidiens importants au Canada et se fondant sur des entrevues particulières avec des dirigeantes de groupes sur lesquels les médias ont porté leur attention, cette étude montre comment les journalistes ont mis l'accent sur les détails privés et personnels ayant trait aux dirigeantes des groupes plus féministes afin de restreindre le rôle des femmes dans la sphère publique.
