The book discusses critical problems and complaints in ways that identify and make the case for actionable, concrete solutions to media problems and deficiencies; it shows how feminist thinking can be usefully and effectively applied to a wide range of journalism, media, and communication practices. The manifestos are not “only” about women but rather offer specific, feasible blueprints for restructuring media in ways that make them fairer and more equitable along many vectors of identity, so that media can better serve democracy. These manifestos give concrete solutions to specific problems that can and should be implemented by journalists, media practitioners, students, faculty, and scholars. The manifestos are organized around three sets of demands: for better media practices, for more participatory online spaces, and for more precise and appropriate language.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The herstory of the (feminist) manifesto, Stine Eckert and Linda Steiner\u003cbr\u003e            \u003cbr\u003e Part I: What the F-k: Demands for Better Media Practices\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: A Feminist Media Manifesta, Frieda Werden                                                                                               \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: How to Fight for Representational Change, Lori Kido Lopez                                                                                                        \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Power, passion, and politics: Vulnerability and feminist ethics in journalism, Meenakshi Gigi Durham                                                                   \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Women Are Not War or Weather: A Short History of Journalism’\u003cbr\u003es Relationship with Feminism and Why It Needs to Change, Carolyn Kitch\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: We Know This Story Too Well: Black Women Struggles in Newsrooms and Journalism Classrooms, Denetra Walker and Erin L.
