It is in this period that scholars of media and communication fields began to study problems or phenomenon from feminism point of view (Sephen, 2000), which means these two research fields started to fuse. One of them followed the feminist traditional critical theory believed that although today's media are full of various female images, those images are distorted, uglified and commercialized in order to uphold a patriarchal society (Chaudhuri, 2000). Another view is that from an outside point of view some articles or other genre of media expression seems to be "feminized", but what behinds it is still traditional view of female thinking women are appendage of men (Micky, 2006). ]]> 2020-10-26 00:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860072317 Methodology linfeng1 https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860074313 To address these questions, this paper utilizes content analysis since this method could describe the phenomenon and reveal the relationship between variables objectively.  ]]> 2020-10-26 00:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860074313 Finding linfeng1 https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860082865 1.tendency:  in the WeChat public account, the articles about women are too negative.

In the media, women also have gradually developed from their initial “absence” to their current “presence” (Schuster, 2013). The relationship between female and media is getting closer. Therefore, media research from the perspective of feminism has become an inseparable part of media research.]]> 2020-10-26 01:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860165791 conclusion linfeng1 https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860178712 In the network society, the importance of new social media as a part of media is self-evident. However, at present, the research on female image in China is still focused on traditional media. Therefore, the research on the presentation of female image in the network media represented by WeChat is conducive to promoting the research of female media to keep up with the international pace.]]> 2020-10-26 01:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860178712 Reference list linfeng1 https://padlet.com/linfeng1/18d9c2enl0pb3sw5/wish/860181301 Chaudhuri, M.
