Journalism, Gender and Power
Edited by Cynthia Carter, Linda Steiner and Stuart Allan (Routledge, 2019)

Journalism, Gender and Power revisits the key themes explored in the 
1998 edited collection News, Gender and Power. It takes stock of 
progress made to date, and also breaks ground in advancing critical 
understandings of how and why gender matters for journalism and current 
democratic cultures.

This new volume develops research insights into issues such as the 
influence of media ownership and control on sexism, women’s employment, 
and "macho" news cultures, the gendering of objectivity and 
impartiality, tensions around the professional identities of 
journalists, news coverage of violence against women, the sexualization 
of women in the news, the everyday experience of normative hierarchies 
and biases in newswork, and the gendering of news audience expectations, 
amongst other issues.

These issues prompt vital questions for feminist and gender-centred 
explorations concerned with reimagining journalism in the public 
interest. Contributors to this volume challenge familiar perspectives, 
and in so doing, extend current parameters of dialogue and debate in 
fresh directions relevant to the increasingly digitalized, interactive 
intersections of journalism with gender and power around the globe.

Journalism, Gender and Power will inspire readers to rethink 
conventional assumptions around gender in news reporting—conceptual, 
professional, and strategic—with an eye to forging alternative, 
progressive ways forward.
