“Media and Marginalized Voices” attempts to bridge the gap in 
interdisciplinary academic knowledge by offering a critical and 
practical understanding of gender and sexual minority representation in 
media and communication. Divided into two sections, the first explores 
‘Women, Media, and Discourse’, while the second focuses on the ‘LGBTQIA+ 
Community and Media Representation’. Grounded in contemporary and 
relevant scholarship, the book examines theories and practices across 
digital and social media, cinema, streaming platforms, television, 
newspapers, and online forums. It presents critical discourse through 
real-life cases, issue-based analyses, grassroots initiatives, digital 
campaigns, social media activism, and success stories of individuals 
driving social change. Featuring contributions from both eminent and 
emerging scholars in the social sciences, this book is a must-read for 
anyone seeking a nuanced, interdisciplinary perspective on media, 
marginality, gender, and sexual minorities.
