Abstract
This analysis of the photographs of scientists published in The Science Times, the weekly science section of The New York Times, shows the actual gender distribution among U.S. scientists was accurately represented in the newspaper. A race gap, however, still exists, with non-white scientists being significantly underrepresented. The analysis of visual framing indicates The Science Times portrays scientists as expert professionals.
