Dakota Midday: Press Portrayls of Women Politicians

Teri Finneman, SDSU professor of journalism, discusses her new book, Press Portrayals of Women Politicians, 1870s-2000s: From “Lunatic” Woodhull to “Polarizing” Palin. She joins Dakota Midday during a year when a woman is running for president of the United States and two women are vying for a seat in the US House of Representatives. We’ll talk about media coverage of female politicians, as well as the responsibility of journalists in coverage of female and male public figures.

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
