Abstract
Health sector is largely considered as a feminised profession, and interest in diet, food and health are often ascribed to women. This paper analyses articles on debates on sugar and the supermarket industry in the UK published in British national and local press in a period between 2010 and 2015. In total, content analysis was conducted on 454 articles and the unit of analysis was each article. The aim of the paper was to establish to what extent women report on debates on sugar and the supermarket industry, and in which sections. The results show that while there is some improvement in terms of numbers of women journalists and more gender balance, there is still a problem with news section. Nevertheless, it seems that now when health has entered public agenda and became part of news, women are being pushed out of what used to be a female area.
