Over centuries the history of women representation in media is a plethora of stereotypes and stigmatisation. Findings from studies confirm that media do produce and reproduce ways of seeing our culture. In this light, this study sets out to critically analyse the representation of women in selected Tanzanian newspapers. The study particularly interrogates ways in which media discourse serves as avenue to construct women gendered stereotypes and stigmatisation to the community. Two selected newspapers namely, Ijumaa and HabariLeo were analysed through Critical Discourse Analysis and Semiotics Frameworks. Through analysis and interpretations of the selected newspapers it can be argued women representation is ideologically representative of the existing power relations that affects the women subgroup in the Tanzanian society. Thus, women representation in the selected newspaper is ascribed with gendered stereotyped and appendage roles compared to their counterparts to appeal men consumers and those with male-defined interest. However, with increasing efforts to impart awareness on equality and women rights today significant progress in ascribing women with positive roles is underway in the same way to appeal taste of the consumers of the service and products. Keywords—media; newspaper; stereotyped gender roles; women and power relations
