This lively and engaging text introduces students to the key contemporary issues in the study of gender and the media. Integrating cultural theory with text-based criticism, Gender in the Media analyses recent debates in feminist cultural theory, masculinity studies and queer theory, before applying these cultural paradigms to critical readings in relevant media contexts. Richardson and Wearing address a wide range of new media texts and topics, covering television dramas, make-over shows, life-style magazines, internet dating and more. Critical, current and far-reaching, this book is invaluable for all students of media and gender studies, as well as for anyone interested in gender representation in different media forms.

"With refreshing clarity and insight, Gender and the Media condenses a body of challenging critical theory with consummate rigour in ways that undergraduates will find both accessible and thought-provoking. Its media case studies, from make-over TV to online dating sites and quality television drama, are timely and illuminating, as the authors examine a range of examples from popular culture to demonstrate the magnitude of the politics at stake. This is an essential text for students seeking both an introduction to key debates surrounding gender and the media, and an understanding of how this powerful conjunction is constructed and experienced in the everyday world." - Deborah Jermyn, Reader in Film and Television, University of Roehampton, UK
