Book Review - Journalism, Gender and Power

Abstract

Like the previous collection first published in 1998, this edition includes both topical and high-profile stories such as the #MeToo movement and Black Lives Matter but also the covert but no less damaging and harmful actions and behaviours that compound gender inequalities. With an impressive breadth of subjects, the book sets out to build on familiar research themes including the influence of media ownership and control, sexism and women’s employment to issues of politics and identities, gendered racialisation, cyber feminism and feminist discourses in a post-truth era.
