Visibility or invisibility: contemporary Spanish female creators in the press dataset

Using a two-phase methodology, the research combines a quantitative content inventory with a qualitative lexical analysis to conduct a longitudinal observation of gender representation in the press. The results reveal an underrepresentation of female creators, who appear in only 3% of articles on 21st-century Spanish artists, compared with 11% focused on their male counterparts.

The lexical analysis shows that vocabulary related to men centers on their work, while articles about women emphasize personal aspects. A gender bias is evident in cultural journalism, highlighting the need for greater awareness and structural changes in media representation practices.
