Media Disparity : A Gender Battleground, Hardback Book

Media Disparity : A Gender Battleground Hardback

Edited by Cory L. Armstrong

Hardback

Description

For decades, scholars have repeatedly found the inequity of gender representations in informational and entertainment media.

Beginning with the seminal work by Gaye Tuchman and colleagues, we have repeatedly seen a systemic underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women in media.

Examining the latest research in discourse and content analyses trending in both domestic and international circles, Media Disparity: A Gender Battleground highlights the progress-or lack thereof-in media regarding portrayals of women, across genres and cultures within the twenty-first century.

Blending both original studies and descriptive overviews of current media platforms, top scholars evaluate the portrayals of women in contemporary venues, including advertisements, videogames, political stories, health communication, and reality television.
