Informed by global and intersectional feminist perspectives, this textbook offers a broad introduction to the role of gender in journalism and considers how women in particular are represented in the news.
This book begins by introducing theoretical approaches to journalism and diversity, feminisms and intersectionality, and media sociology. With reference to more than 90 countries and an emphasis on the Global South, it offers an expansive history of gender in journalism and insights from multiple global surveys. The next part of the text deals with women’s participation in news production, highlighting the challenges of men-dominated newsroom cultures. From there, the focus shifts to the way news media represent women in the news, including in relation to politics, war, and violence. The book concludes with a discussion of gender in international media development, gender and media activism, and gender in journalism education. Students are supported by chapter summaries, discussion questions, and a glossary of key terms to help reinforce knowledge and understanding.
Inspiring students to incite positive change in the industry, Journalism and Gender is an essential text for those approaching this topic for the first time.
