Abstract (eng)
The aim of this work was to analyse the photographic representation of Austrian politicians on the Instagram-pages of Austrian newspapers. The focus of this work was to analyse, with the help of previous reception research, how the politicians are portrayed overall and whether there are differences between the genders. A total of 1054 photos were analysed by means of a full analysis of the Instagram-pages through a quantitative content analysis with qualitative influences and evaluated with SPSS. The overall results show a neutral coverage of Instagram-pages, also in comparison between genders. However, there are some variables where an influencing mode of presentation could be found. This work con-firms the literature in most points but contradicts some studies from gender research.
