While Old Persian featured grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), Middle and Modern Persian do not make these distinctions, except in certain Arabic loanwords (e.g., shahid for male martyr, shahide for female martyr). This raises the question: to what extent does Persian discourse still exhibit gender bias, particularly in lexical and discoursal forms? This study investigates gender representation in Iranian news media by analyzing a corpus of six major Iranian news outlets, spanning 2009–2019. The outlets are affiliated with Iran’s three primary political factions: Fundamentalists, Reformists, and Moderates. Although news discourse is typically expected to represent reality in a neutral manner, research suggests that ideology and hegemony often influence its portrayal. Using a corpus-based discourse analysis, this article investigates the representation of “women” in the Iranian news by analyzing the frequency, collocations, and concordance of gendered address terms and phrases. This research offers insights into how gendered discourse varies across political ideologies in Iranian media over the past decade.
