Women in Mass Communication

Third Edition

The effect of feminsim on the field of mass communication is more important now than ever. The Third Edition of Women in Mass Communication has been greatly expanded and updated to cover the most urgent issues of today. New to this edition are chapters on women's opportunities and obstacles in online journalism, the role of women in health communication fields, and the growth of the number of women in the field of sports journalism. With a particular emphasis on race, culture, and ethnicity leading scholars in the field provide compelling analyses of the ways in which feminist theory and feminist perspectives affect mass communication. The Third Edition of Women in Mass Communication provides this generation of students with a feminist heritage and passes the agenda to improve the status of women—and men— working in the mass communication professions on to them. WMC3 is no longer a status report; it is truly a call to action before it's too late.
