Journalism and Gender Studies

Editors: Cláudia Lago (School of Communications and Arts, University of 
São Paulo - SBPJor) Ana Carolina Temer (Postgraduate Program in 
Communication, Information and Communication Department, Federal 
University of Goiás - Alaic); Marli dos Santos (Postgraduate Program in

Media is an unparalleled space for the construction and delivery of 
Gender representation, as well as practice and norms about sexuality. 
This centrality, all over the world, to a greater or lesser extent, is 
exercised in order to reinforce gender stereotypes, adopting 
perspectives that favor male and heteronormativity.

 From this assumption, numerous initiatives at a global level have been 
adopted not only to identify and monitor the diversions operated by 
media coverage, but also to point out other possibilities and advances, 
such as the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) Global 
Media Monitoring project, or Unesco's Global Alliance on Media and 
Gender (GAMAP), which aims to promote gender equality in the media

 From the point of view of numerous researches, there are also the 
initiatives and movements that deal with gender issues in the media in 
general and in Journalism in particular, although it seems that most of 
the work starts from areas other than Communication. To stimulate and 
highlight this crucial issue, the Brazilian Association of Journalism 
Researchers (SBPJor) joins the Journalism Working Group of the Latin 
American Association of Communication Researchers (Journalism-Alaic WG) 
and the Journalism Research and Education Section of the International 
Association for Media and Communication Research (JRE of IAMCR) to 
promote the Dossier Gender Studies in Journalism.

The proposal is to welcome papers that focus on Gender issues in their 
complexity, with research that considers the adoption or absence of a 
gender perspective in journalistic content, and how this contributes to 
reinforcing gender, racial and ethnic stereotypes in their 
crisscrossing. Work that focus on how journalism frames, selects, 
presents, gender violence, feminicide, rape culture, homo and 
transphobia, as well as texts that reflect the journalism agenda and 
gender issues and intersectionality and aspects that make it difficult 
or impossible to see the discussions on gender identities and 
sexualities are stimulated. Work on the impacts on the 
underrepresentation of gender diversity in press production, or on 
gender and sexuality prejudices in professional practice, as well as 
texts dealing with everyday representations involving gender, is also 
expected. Finally, work that analyzes new forms of representation and 
journalistic positioning in the face of Gender issues, with initiatives 
to confront stereotypes and construct an inclusive and non-generalized 
journalism is stimulated.

Articles, from 40,000 to 55,000 characters with spaces, must be 
submitted by November 1^st , 2017. As Brazilian Journalism Research 
publishes two versions of each issue (in Portuguese/Spanish and in 
English), the authors of the articles accepted in Spanish or Portuguese 
should provide the English translation. In the same way, the authors of
