Inhaltsangabe

Twenty-four academics, journalists, historians, and activists from the U.S., UK, and Israel--among them, top names in the field of queer media studies including Larry Gross, Ed Alwood, Lisa Henderson, and Meg Moritz--contribute 13 chapters examining the increased media coverage of the gay community. The chapters are grouped thematically into four aspects of this increased visibility--history, expertise, popularity, and technology. They are supplemented by three essays by media practitioners including journalists working in the gay and mainstream press; among these is an essay by Studs Terkel who interviewed founders of the U.S. homophile movement. For scholars, students, and instructors of media and gender studies, and interested general readers. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
