Gender and Journalism: An Intersectional Approach

Gender has a tremendous effect on journalists and the journalism industry; the stories they tell; and the people who consume those stories. Alongside histories of journalism, equal rights, and feminist movements, this textbook incorporates issues of race, class, and sexuality including the experiences of men and LGBTQ communities.
