This master dissertation examines the representations of Greta Thunberg in the British Press. Using Jeffries' Critical Stylistics tools, this study aims at revealing the sexist discourses prevalent in the left- and right-wing media. The research focuses on articles published around the time of Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN, on the 23rd September 2019, as it corresponds to a period during which Thunberg received considerable attention. The dissetrtation will strive to find answers to the following question: •What are some of the main representations of Greta Thunberg in the British right-wing and left-wing newspapers? •How are these discourses inflected by gender? •Can sexist instances be found, and how do they intertwine with the representations of Greta Thunberg? •Do the representations of Greta Thunberg differ between the right-wing and the left-wing newspapers?

In answer to the economic crisis, to the scandals and to the frauds, the risk of reputation has emerged (Trotta, Iannuzzi, & Pacelli, 2016). Moreover, the increased power given to regulators (Van Erp, 2013) to disclose penalties including the names of offenders amplified the risk. The media representation of these penalties can seriously damage the reputation of financial institutions concerned. In this context, we study the quantitative impact of the publication of sanctions by UK and French regulators and the qualitative impact of the first media representation of penalties on the reputational risk of UK financial institutions. The sample for the publication of sanctions by the UK regulator is formed on the basis of the year 2013 whereas the sample for the publication of sanctions by the French regulator is formed on the basis of the period from December 2006 to July 2017. The results show an insignificant impact of the publication of sanctions on the abnormal returns. Therefore, the risk of reputation is low. However, we note that the coefficient of determination was diverging. This calls into question the use of good market indexes in the literature. Regarding the first media representation, we analyse in-depth three press articles appeared before the settlement date of sanctions and we find that the press has chosen to cover financial scandals. The content of these articles reflected an opposition to the regulation (“anti-regulation”). The choice and the content of the press limit the impact on the reputation because it tells the facts like structural problems.

In the past few years, U.S. politics have been at the forefront of many international newspapers. With the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016 to the one of Joe Biden in 2020, American politics have remained a widely discussed topic, even in other countries. However, when looking at the list of people who have been representing the country politically, it is noticeable that the great majority of them have been men. Although, over the past few decades, more women have been elected to political offices, most of these positions, especially the major ones, remain occupied by male politicians. As the media play such a big role in elections by informing the public on political candidates and their campaigns, it is important to look at the news coverage that female candidates receive, in comparison to one received by their male counterparts.
