Autor Margaretha Geertsema-Slighen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2025
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.

Recenzii
"Journalism and Gender is a timely, hugely readable, and thorough teaching gem. With a thoughtful and global approach, this textbook illuminates current and future discussions on the ever-pressing issue of how women worldwide are not treated equally in journalism and news."
Dr. Ingrid Bachmann, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile
"This book is an excellent resource for inclusive journalism and gender education. With a global focus, five parts address the participation and representation of women in journalism. The succinct student learning outcomes and glossary are helpful."
Dr. Pallavi Guha, Towson University, United States
"Journalism and Gender offers an invaluable examination of this topic. By foregrounding global perspectives, Geertsema-Sligh challenges Western-dominated narratives and highlights the need for more inclusive perspectives. The book is a crucial resource for those interested in understanding and advancing gender equity in journalism worldwide."
Dr. Kaitlynn Mendes, Western University, Canada
"This timely and comprehensive textbook therefore explores the intersection of gender and journalism. It also presents a nuanced exploration of how gender undergirds both the production and representation of news, revealing the systemic ways journalism perpetuates gender inequalities across diverse socio-political, cultural and professional contexts. Grounded on empirical data from 92 countries - 56 from ‘developing countries’ and 36 from ‘developed countries’ - the book challenges Western-dominated paradigms and underscores the need for a more inclusive and globally informed approach to journalism studies. Its ambitious geographical scope offers a rich comparative perspective, extending knowledge beyond the Anglo-American domain."
Dr Mercy Ette, Newcastle University
"To say it first off: this is an excellent book. Designed as a teaching text, and available as paperback, Journalism and Gender – Global Perspectives stands out as addressing gender in journalism firmly from a global perspective."
