First review of "Journalism and Gender: Global Perspectives"

I saw the first review of my textbook, "Journalism and Gender: Global Perspectives," published in the well-regarded journal "Journalism," this morning. Dr. Mercy Ette wrote a thorough and supportive review. 

A few excerpts:

"Margaretha Geertsema-Sligh’s Journalism and Gender: Global Perspectives offers new insights from transnational and intersectional perspectives and prioritises discourses from the Global South."

"This timely and comprehensive textbook therefore explores the intersection of gender and journalism. It also presents a nuanced exploration of how gender undergirds both the production and representation of news, revealing the systemic ways journalism perpetuates gender inequalities across diverse socio-political, cultural, and professional contexts. Grounded on empirical data from 92 countries - 56 from ‘developing countries’ and 36 from ‘developed countries’ - the book challenges Western-dominated paradigms and underscores the need for a more inclusive and globally informed approach to journalism studies. It's ambitious geographical scope offers a rich comparative perspective, extending knowledge beyond the Anglo-American domain."

"By weaving together theoretical discussions, relevant empirical data, and case studies, Geertsema-Sligh broadens readers’ understanding of women’s participation and representation in journalism and news."
