Gender, Race, and Class in Media
A Critical Reader

Fifth Edition (International Student Edition)
Edited by:


April 2018 | 712 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
This provocative new edition examines the mass media as economic and cultural institutions that shape our social identities, particularly regarding gender, race and class. A comprehensive introductory section outlines the book's integrated approach to media studies, which incorporates three distinct but related areas of investigation: the political economy of production, textual analysis and audience response. Incisive analyses of mass media – the Internet, television sitcoms, advertising and more – engage students in critical mass media scholarship.
