Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the coverage of the deaths of Israeli male and female public figures. It aims to identify the central gender-related narratives and themes reflected in the coverage of death in the Israeli print news via a qualitative analysis of 354 news stories regarding the deaths of twenty Israeli public figures who died between 2000 and 2020. Three recurring themes revealing gender differences in the coverage were found: (1) references to appearance; (2) references to family relations and parenting; and (3) plot promoters of the lives of the deceased. The findings both reinforce and challenge those from previous studies, suggesting a more complex contemporary journalistic discourse on gender roles.
