    Subject Term:
    community newspapers, coverage, ethical issues, gender, image, mass media, media effectiveness, newspapers, reporting, rural communities, social change, women, and bias
    Notes:
    Case analysis shows that the local newspaper in a country town "constructs images of women and community that reflect and support existing gender relations. Images of feminity and womanhood are constructed in ways that reproduce the subordination and marginalisation of women in many spheres of community life."
