Abstract
[en] From its inception, the Women’s March was an event which has been much talked about in the media. It started in 2017 as a reaction to the election of Donald Trump as President as the United States. The protest is not per se anti-Trump since it rather is opposed to everything the President embodies: misogyny, narcissism as well as racism. The aim of this dissertation is to compare the media coverage of the protest, which turned into a movement, from 2017 to 2019 in news websites and online women’s magazines. While news websites try to propose a neutral report of the events, online women’s magazines are tools of feminism and, as such, most likely present a biased report of the events. The approach that was adopted in this dissertation in order to develop this comparative study was to analyse the use of metaphor in both genres, more specifically, the use of conceptual metaphors.
