@stefp I’ve been thinking more about this, especially with reference to women leaders. A climate and culture of sexism may lead to a photographer who consciously or subconsciously chooses to take photos that ‘lean’ a certain way. Then in the production process someone chooses photos to use, may edit or crop them to achieve a particular look, and then may place them in such a way in the publication that surrounding material may also impart a ‘flavour’. At every step conscious or unconscious bias plays a part. I’m sure political leanings play a strong role, but for women and for ‘minority’ groups (ie non white males) this doubles down, or perhaps triples down when more than one factor is in play.
