That's a good site. I found a couple more for you to check out:

There are probably articles in professional journals that Bing or Google don't bring up. A trip to the library might be in order, too. :)
Sure! I can help you with that. When looking for ideas and articles for your argumentative paper on the representation of women in the media, consider following these steps:
1. Identify the key concepts: Start by identifying the main concepts related to your topic. In this case, those concepts could be "representation," "women," and "media."
2. Generate keywords: Based on the concepts identified, create a list of keywords that you can use for searching relevant articles. For example, keywords could include "gender stereotypes," "media portrayal," "female characters," "feminism," "body image," "women in advertising," and so on.
3. Search academic databases: Utilize academic databases such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, or Academic Search Complete to find scholarly articles. Enter your keywords into the search bar and browse through the search results.
4. Refine your search: Use filters such as publication date (to narrow down to recent articles), peer-reviewed articles (to ensure quality), and specific disciplines (e.g., sociology, media studies) to refine your search.
5. Read abstracts: Look for articles that seem relevant and read their abstracts to get an idea of the content and whether it fits with your argument.
6. Check citations: Once you find an article that is relevant to your topic, check its reference list for other scholarly articles. This can provide you with additional sources to explore.
7. Read articles: Access the chosen articles and read them carefully, taking notes on key arguments, evidence, and examples that support your position.
Here are a few articles to get you started:
- Simmons, J. L. (2015). The Female Advantage? An Examination of Gender Disparity in Online News Imagery. Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, 92(2), 319–340.
- Dill, K. E., & Thill, K. P. (2007). Video Game Characters and the Socialization of Gender Roles: Young People’s Perceptions Mirror Sexist Media Depictions. Sex Roles, 57(11–12), 851–864.
- Zurbriggen, E. L., & Morgan, E. M. (2006). Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire? Reality Dating Television Programs, Attitudes Toward Sex, and Sexual Behaviors. Sex Roles, 54(1–2), 1–17.
Remember to always critically analyze the articles you find and assess their credibility and relevance to your argument. And don't forget to properly cite any sources you use in your paper. Good luck with your research and paper!
