FREITAS, Gustavo    SIMOES, Rita Basílio. Gender, Diversity and Populism: Media Representation of Political Actors. []. , 23, 43, pp.37-54.   31--2023. ISSN 1645-5681.  https://doi.org/10.14195/2183-5462_43_2.

In this article, we analyse, from an intersectional feminist perspective, the media coverage of two single MPs representing parties debuting in the Portuguese Parliament in 2019: André Ventura and Joacine Katar Moreira. Through a qualitatively-oriented Content Analysis, we examined the informative production of three Portuguese generalist dailies of national circulation (Correio da Manhã, Diário de Notícias and Público) about those deputies during the first six months of the XIV legislature of the Portuguese Third Republic. Despite challenging the traditional invisibility of parliamentary women, patterns identified contribute to a gendered representation while favouring the polarisation of political actors.
