Summary/Abstract: Following study examines selection criteria for international news, specifically individual forces in gatekeeping. Scholars recognize that individual gatekeepers have the power to pass some items „through the gates“ and reject others, but they have also shown that gatekeepers' actions must be understood within the context of their environment. The aim of our study lies particulary in the explanation whether gender affects news selection.
