Informationen zum Autor Cory L. Armstrong is an associate professor in the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida. Klappentext 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. We are well overdue for an overview of gender and gendering in traditional and digital media. The chapters provide exceptional detail on employment, sourcing, coverage and representation in myriad media globally. This book needs to be a requirement in today's introductory mass communication classes. -- Pamela J. Creedon, University of Iowa Media Disparity, the latest bookshelf essential on women and representation, is going right next to my 1978 copy of Hearth & Home. In Media Disparity, editor Cory Armstrong doesn't just revisit symbolic annihilation 35 years later. She enlists Gaye Tuchman along with some of the smartest feminists in mass communication to contribute. Both primer and update, Media Disparity demonstrates creative ways to look at a persistent problem across platforms and around the world. -- Kim Golombisky, University of South Florida Zusammenfassung This book highlights the progress—or lack thereof—in media regarding portrayals of women, across genres and cultures within the twenty-first century.
