Textbook Manuscript Submitted

I submitted the full manuscript for my textbook, "Journalism and Gender: Global Perspectives," to Routledge on Friday. This is an amazing feeling after having worked on this every weekday since August 2023. The book will be out around July 2025.

Here is the blurb:

Informed by global and intersectional feminist perspectives, this textbook offers a broad introduction to the role of gender in journalism and considers how women in particular are represented in the news. 

This book begins by introducing theoretical approaches to journalism and diversity, feminisms and intersectionality, and media sociology. With reference to more than 90 countries and an emphasis on the Global South, it offers an expansive history of gender in journalism and insights from multiple global reports. The next part deals with women’s participation in news production, highlighting the challenges of men-dominated newsroom cultures. From there, the focus shifts to the ways news media represent women in the news, including in relation to politics, violence, and war. The book concludes with a discussion of gender in international media development, gender and media activism, and gender in journalism education. Students are supported by chapter summaries, discussion questions, and a glossary of key terms to help reinforce knowledge and understanding.

Inspiring students to incite positive change in the industry, Journalism and Gender is an essential text for those approaching this topic for the first time.

This textbook features an e-book+ with interactive features such as links to websites, quizzes, and flash cards.
