Replication data for the study 'Gender stereotypes in print and online media coverage of Slovak presidential candidates in 2009 and 2019'.

Abstract

The dataset consists of 1090 unique commentaries of varying length (from 23 to 3404 words, µ = 431 words), published concerning the main presidential candidates in 2009 (Radičová and Gašparovič) and 2019 (Čaputová and Šefčovič) in selected news outlets. As a single commentary could have mentioned both competing candidates, the unit of analysis is not any commentary but a commentary coded for a single candidate (n = 1492). Therefore, if both competing candidates were mentioned in a commentary, this commentary was counted and coded twice for each candidate separately. Each unit of analysis was paired with the following information: date of publication, name of outlet, type of outlet, journalist name, journalist gender, candidate, candidate gender, and election year.
