This article presents an empirical study regarding the space given over to pundits in mainstream Portuguese print media between 1980 and 2005, a period of significant change in Portugal. It is argued that, seen as a public space, punditry can be conceived as an indicator of the democratization process in Portugal. This study aims to analyze how the changes that took place in Portuguese media and society affected the pundits\u2019 world, their profile and the presence of women in their midst. This study aims to answer several questions: Who are the Portuguese media pundits? Where do they come from? Is this a balanced gender space? What was the impact of structural changes in the media sector and Portuguese society throughout the past 26 years, with regards to the space occupied by pundits? In spite of so many major structural changes in Portuguese society and in the media sector, why is the pundits\u2019 profile perpetuating itself through the years? <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1464884910392843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,26]],"date-time":"2011-04-26T15:17:58Z","timestamp":1303831078000},"page":"317-333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Press pundits and Portuguese society"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Rita","family":"Figueiras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Portuguese Catholic University, Portugal,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"126","DOI":"10.1177\/1081180X98003001012","volume":"3","author":"Alger D.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Harvard International Journal of Press\/Politics"},{"volume-title":"Tempos de Incerteza [Times of uncertainty]","year":"2002","author":"Barreto A.","key":"atypb2"},{"key":"atypb3","unstructured":"Braga da Cruz M.
