Gender Representation and Opinion Detection in the Media


MIMS 2022 Final Capstone Project

Team Members: Jade Clarke, Lia Chin-Purcell, Kailin Koch, George McIntire, Siqi Wu

Project Goals

Partner Organization: ReThink Media

ReThink Media is a Berkeley based non-profit organization that strengthens movements through communication and voiceshare. They live out this mission by delivering workshops for nonprofits on media strategy and conducting in depth media analyses. By driving collaboration and innovation across sectors, ReThink aims to reach new audiences and achieve shared policy wins.

Project Description

We built a front-end dashboard to help them visualize gender representation through news articles in their various issue areas. This builds off of previous work such as Informed Opinion’s Gender Gap Tracker and the Global Media Monitoring Project’s Who Makes the News Report. As part of this project we productionized the models, built a data pipeline, performed usability testing, and documented and handed off our work to the organization.
