Women and Violence: Media Making the Call

More about the book

The research examines how various factors such as age, race, nationality, class, and appearance influence media coverage of crimes involving women, rather than the specifics of the crime itself. It argues that this biased portrayal in the media has harmful effects on women's status in society, highlighting the intersection of gender and media representation. The study emphasizes the need to address these disparities to foster a more equitable portrayal of women in news narratives.
