This thesis explores gender representation in the television talk show Odmevi, which airs during prime time on the first channel of Television Slovenia. We are interested in the proportion of women compared to men, the roles they occupy, and the areas in which they are most represented. For each episode, we recorded the gender of the host, the topics discussed (categorized by thematic field), the guests, their gender, and their role. We quantified the data, visualized it in graphs, and interpreted the findings based on a theoretical framework that includes agenda-setting theory, media-political parallelism, patriarchy and androcentrism theory, and the concept of neutrality. The results show that women are underrepresented in Odmevi compared to their male counterparts, that they appear less often as experts, and that traditionally “male” domains (e.g. politics, economics) continue to be dominated by men.
