Includes bibliographical references (p. 457-460) and index. The Encyclopedia of gender in media critically examines the role of the media in enabling, facilitating or challenging the social construction of gender in our society. It addresses a variety of entertainment and news content in print and electronic media, and explores the social constructions of masculinity and femininity. In addition to representations of gender within the media, it analyzes gender issues related to media ownership and the media workforce. |
