Feminist Interventions in International Communication

This cutting-edge work critiques today's global mediascape through feminist perspectives, highlighting concerns of policy, power, labor, and technology. Starting with the general state of international communication, the book uses feminist political-economic and policy analyses to explore the globalization of media industries, including questions about women's employment and media content that is globally produced and consumed. An interdisciplinary group of authors covers cases on pornography and explicit material, political participation and democracy, policies for women's development, violence against women, labor practices and information workers, print media and publishing, and more. Providing fresh feminist insights into international communication, this essential book shows the important strides taken toward social justice and how far there is yet to go.
