Abstract

To investigate how female college students are represented in media portrayals, the authors explore the rhetoric and reality surrounding female college students in China through a content analysis of Internet media. The study explains the potential ideologies behind the media's portrayal from 359 Chinese language news articles produced by the Chinese Internet media, including 10 Chinese mainstream media outlets , whose reporting is officially sanctioned. The findings show that media’ biased identity framing of the Chinese female college students as a negative image, which emphasizes the identity of being emotionally sensitive, vulnerable, superficial and material. The representations of female college students potentially imply the ideologies of traditional patriarchy, which reflect and shape Chinese womanhood within the Chinese sociocultural context.
