Gender, Politics, News: A Game of Three Sides explores the role of gender in the broader processes of political communication

  • An analysis of political journalism as a practice and the development of the field in terms of gendered workplace cultures
  • Offers a solid framework for understanding women’s political representation, including real world case studies of women’s campaigns for the top political job across a range of different geographies and contexts
  • Coverage of hot-button issues, such as political scandal and the role of new and social media in politics and elections, makes this a highly relevant and current work with resonances for a wide audience
