Synopsis

Women in Mass Communication focuses on what may be the single most important issue for professionals in the area of mass communication in the next few decades -- the increasing feminist presence and proliferating feminist perspectives within the field. The volume begins with a look at the study and teaching of mass communication, including such topics as a feminist perspective on media law, gender in a global context, women of colour in communication, and the effect of women communication teachers on their students. Contributors call for significant changes in the way we think of mass communication and represent pioneering efforts to extend feminist theory in the area. The second section examines the status of women in television, advertising, public relations, newspapers, magazines, and radio, outlining the current issues for women in the mass media. The book concludes with a discussion of the alternative values presented by the women's movement media and a thought provoking picture of alternative futures for mass communication based on various feminist theoretical positions.
