*About the Collection*

With the heated discussion around #MeToo, journalistic reporting on 
domestic abuse, and the popularity of true crime documentaries, gendered 
media discourse around violence and harassment has never been more 
prominent.


/The Routledge Companion to Gender, Media and Violence/ is an 
outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in 
this important subject and is the first collection on media and violence 
to take a gendered, intersectional approach. Comprising over 50 chapters 
by a team of interdisciplinary and international contributors, the book 
is structured around the following parts:

  * News
  * Representing reality
  * Gender-based violence online
  * Feminist responses

The media examples examined range from Australia to Zimbabwe and span 
print and online news, documentary film and television, podcasts, 
pornography, memoir, comedy, memes, influencer videos, and digital 
feminist protest. Types of violence considered include domestic abuse, 
"honour"-based violence, sexual violence and harassment, female genital 
mutilation/cutting, child sexual abuse, transphobic violence, and the 
aftermath of conflict. Good practice is considered in relation to both 
responsible news reporting and pedagogy.


The /Routledge Companion to Gender, Media and Violence/ is essential 
reading for students and researchers in Gender Studies, Media Studies, 
Sociology, and Criminology.
