Comprised of original research in diverse genres and medias,
Women and Media: International Perspectives brings together
eight international scholars to explore key issues of the
gender-media relation.
- Provides important insights into how gender is implicated in
media industries.
- Address key issues of the gender-media relation, from an
analysis of news media’s coverage of women politicians, to
the marketing of ‘girl power’, to strategizing for
equality in newsrooms.
- Highlights the theme that media have the potential both to
reinforce the status quo in power arrangements in society but also
to contribute to new, more egalitarian ones.
- Includes an introduction by the editors that carefully maps the contours of the international struggle between feminists and the media, section overviews, bibliographies, key terms, and discussion questions.
