Résumé
Cet article se propose d’explorer la représentation sexospécifique des acteurs politiques dans la presse écrite nigériane et son impact sur la participation politique des femmes, en se fondant sur une étude empirique. L’étude a adopté une combinaison de méthodes – analyse de contenu et enquête transversale. Une étude de cas sur la couverture médiatique des accusations de corruption à l’encontre de deux anciens Orateurs de la chambre basse de la législature (un homme et une femme, respectivement), au cours du gouvernement de 2007-2011) a été réalisée sur deux quotidiens choisis expressément – le Punch et le Guardian. Pour compléter les résultats de l’analyse de contenu, une enquête transversale a été réalisée auprès d’un échantillon de 100 répondants, sur leur perception de la représentation des femmes politiciennes dans les médias. Il ressort des analyses de contenu que la couverture des affaires comportait une dimension sexospécifique, celle concernant l’Oratrice ayant été traitée de manière sensationnelle, exagérée et banalisée. Toutefois, la plupart des répondants ont considéré que la couverture était justifiée, étant convaincus que les médias n’ont fait que rapporter la vérité en ce qui concerne l’Oratrice.
