Women's Stereotypes And Discourse Plight In News Reports

From a feminism standpoint, the study makes a close examination of the feminine texts of the anti-corruption reports and entertainment news by the means of Narratology. The purpose of the research is to study the image of women in these two typical reports, and meir like, as well as to find out the way they tell and be discussed. From the findings of the research, we can safely arrive at the conclusion that the frequent presence of women in these news reports is only a phenomenon of "borrowed prosperity". On the contrary, under the overwhelming influence of male discourse hegemony , women haven't achieved any higher status or more right of voice in the media. Actually, women are more likely in the circumstances of being narrated and shaped compulsorily into plain "stereotypes" by the male discourse system. In other words, women are on a status of being looked and admired, blamed and trivialized in these reports. What's worse, their own discourse is in a state of self-subversion, which leads to a discourse plight after they lose the power of discourse.
