Visual Framing: A Study in Face-ism from the Websites for the 108th United States Congress.

Websites are being used by increasing numbers to target a market with a message unfiltered by the media. This content analysis examined the website front-screens for the members of the 108th United States Congress to determine if the photographic images displayed reinforced the media\u27s stereotypical frame of female politicians.
