Resumen

¿Puede la cobertura periodística de temas de género afectar las opiniones de sus lectores y promover así cambio social? En este proceso, ¿son los periodistas hombres y mujeres igual de influyentes? Para responder a esto, se condujo un experimento en el que se manipuló el género percibido de un/a periodista que habla sobre acoso sexual, para medir su efecto en las opiniones de los lectores sobre la gravedad de este problema social. Los resultados indican que los hombres son más influyentes, resultado que se mantiene significativo entre las participantes mujeres, quienes también sienten más compasión por las víctimas de acoso sexual.
