Men Appear Twice as Often as Women in News Photos on Facebook
Men appear more than women in news images on Facebook when it comes to both individuals and groups of people
How Pew Research Center examined gender representation in Facebook posts from news outlets
Facebook news images more likely to show exclusively men than both men and women or exclusively women
Women are especially unlikely to appear in news images related to the economy, more likely to appear in images related to TV, music or movies
Men’s faces appear slightly larger than women’s faces, except in photos for posts about TV, music or movies
