Sex And The University : Celebrity, Controversy And A Student Journalism Revolution Paperback / softback
by Daniel Reimold
Paperback / softback
Description
Who would think that Monday morning's page-turning sports scores could be trumped by Sex on Tuesday?
But, during the last decade or so, college newspaper sex columns and campus sex magazines have revolutionized student journalism and helped define a new sexual generation.
They are the ultimate authorities on student social interaction, relationships, and sex at a time when sexual activity, sexual dangers, and sexual ignorance are prevalent and sex has become the wallpaper of students' lives. Daniel Reimold gives readers of all generations an inside look at this phenomenon.
Student sex columnists and sex magazine editors are both celebrities on their home campuses.
One columnist, echoing the sentiments of many, said he became an overnight rock star golden child of journalism.
But, with celebrity comes controversy. These columns and magazines have sparked contentious and far-reaching legal, religious, and intergenerational debates about sex, the student press, and the place of both within higher education.
They are also the most prominent modern student press combatants in the fight for free speech. And they have blurred journalistic boundaries between what is considered public and private, art and pornography, and gossip and news. Sex and the University explores the celebrity status that student sex columnists and magazine editors have received, the controversies they have caused, and the sexual generation and student journalism revolution they represent.
Complete with a sexicon of slang, this book also dives into the columns and magazines themselves, sharing for the first time what modern students are saying about their sex and love lives, in their own words.
