Publisher Synopsis
Finally! After unsuccessful tries by others, Women, Men and News: Divided and Disconnected articulates many of the issues about women and their "connectiveness" to news that have largely been ignored. The authors wisely provide not just an explanation, but also a road map for the 21st century and beyond. Women, Men and News: Divided and Disconnected offers solid research and reporting about news consumption that crosses the lines of age, gender, ethnicity feminism, geography and technology. Their work stretches our understanding of what's important to insure what the authors reinforce: informed citizens are necessary for a democratic society. If every media executive and university journalism educator would carefully review the "blueprint for increasing news consumers among today's women and the next generation," we would be closer to understanding attitudes toward and expectations of news worldwide. With that understanding also comes a stronger, healthier, more respectful community. Women, Men and News: Divide and Disconnected also provides a much-needed read for today's college students who get their news from the Jon Stewart Show, blogs, Facebook and YouTube. Dr. Barbara Bealor Hines, Professor, Howard University "This work provides an understanding of how the news and information industry is failing society, nationally and globally. The authors have put together a must-read for all students of democracy. It is packed with up-to-date information appropriate for use in graduate classes such as Media and the Sexes, or as a supplement to upper-level undergraduate courses such as Media Management. It is useful because it looks at traditional subjects such as news consumption in a completely different light and provides ammunition for discussion and classroom lectures." Angela M. Powers, Ph.D. Director and Professor A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications Kansas State University Through an interesting mix of chapters written by women with an interesting mix of credentials, Women, Men, and News takes a careful and critical look at the difference gender makes in the production and consumption of news. Focusing on various platforms for news, old and new alike, the material in this volume highlights an important challenge journalism faces in its commitment to open and inclusive public communication. Global in its reach and thoughtful in its analysis, Women, Men, and News makes a timely and significant contribution to the literature on the role of the press as an institution of democracy.
