Media Representations and Diversity in the 100 Years of Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
The Journal and Mass Communication Quarterly (JMCQ) has documented the struggle members of marginalized groups face in their quest to be treated equally in media content and careers. In this analysis, we note that the journal’s century of articles documents the many historical shifts in the representation and treatment of women and minorities in media settings. Articles emphasize the lack of opportunities for advancement, management issues, and s…
The Versatility of Intersectionality in Journalism and Mass Communication Research
Incels online reframing sexual violence
This small-scale study brings attention to the way the news media cover the enabling role of computer technology and social media in coalescing online communities focused on the hatred of women and the promotion of violence. While that aggression is ultimately and typically carried out against both women and men, it is specifically misogyny which underlies it. The way that the broader public receives information about incels – involuntary celebat…
Feminist Intersectionality Research in Communications: Origins, Contributions and Tensions
The text considers some of the important work in intersectionality that has been done by critical feminist and postcolonial scholars in media and other communication fields since the 1990s, focusing particularly on the kinds of problems they have examined and their contributions to feminist theory building.

The Palgrave International Handbook of Women and Journalism
Lebanon has historically been one of the most liberal and progressive countries in the Arab world, with a relatively free media climate and a culture and legal environment largely conducive to gender equality. Censorship in Lebanon remains nowhere near as stringent as in most of its regional counterparts, although journalists and bloggers self-censor for personal safety (Alabaster 2011). The country has a long tradition of press freedom, but near…

Race- and Gender-Conscious Policies: Toward a More Egalitarian CommunicationsFuture
In this essay the authors, all faculty at Howard University, advocate more egalitarian ownership of broadcast media, especially with respect to minorities and women. They designate five areas for attention: objective standards for judging public interest performance; strengthening public oversight; strengthening localism; identifying metrics for diversity and localism; and mechanisms to promote minority and female ownership. They offer recommenda…
Representations of (new) Black masculinity: A news-making case study
Representations of Black masculinity in popular culture remain a focal point of social science and cultural studies research. Yet, research shows that Black men are negatively portrayed in news stories. Therefore, when a series on Black men, conceived and carried out primarily by a Black journalistic team, was published in a national agenda-setting newspaper, The Washington Post, it was important to question if Black masculinity was represented i…
Journalism as Kerner Turns 40: Its Multiculticultural Problems and Possibilities
In the years since the Kerner Report was released, a combination of technological shifts in the newspaper business and the continued migration of newspapers toward their preferred White and middle class readers in the suburbs and exurbs of America have contributed to the plight of today’s newspaper industry in the United States. The strategy of many daily newspapers to pursue that declining base through the costly creation of satellite or outlyin…
