From an analysis of news media’s coverage of women politicians, through the marketing of \"girl power\", to strategizing for equality in newsrooms, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Media: International Perspectives\u003c\/i\u003e provides important insights into how gender is integrated in media industries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eBringing together original essays by international scholars that explore key concerns between gender and media, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Media\u003c\/i\u003e conveys the dynamism of this issue. Importantly, the theme that runs through the volume – and which serves to unify these otherwise diverse articles – is that media have the potential both to reinforce the status quo in power arrangements in society and to contribute to new, more egalitarian ones. An ideal teaching tool for students, this lively volume includes part-section overviews, bibliographies, key terms, discussion questions, and an introduction by the editors that carefully maps the contours of the international struggle between feminists and the media.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990501540069,"sku":"NP9781405116091","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405116091.jpg?v=1761788081","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/women-and-media-isbn-9781405116091","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
