Most of the news stories discussed we either without gender or only brought up the gender of certain individuals without describing them in any way. Those that did offered some insight. The first article that shows a bit about gender representation is with Anchorage’s mayor Dave Bronson resisting mask mandates which definitely shows us that he is being assertive, a commonly masculine trait. The only article to bring up women was dealing with the sexual assault within Olympic gymnastics, their response to questioning in congress was described as “emotional.”
