Description

Product Description While Canada is known for its official commitment to diversity, a close look at the country’s media reveals that lip service to differences notwithstanding, they rarely engage with it in ways that reflect its presence in Canadian society. The Media Gaze exposes the mainstream media’s attempts to appear objective, even as they may ignore or misrepresent those who do not share their white, male, middle-class, heterosexual perspective. Drawing on compelling case studies, this incisive survey explores the societal implications of the industry’s hidden bias and suggests strategies for countering its dominance. Review Written by an author in full control of his subject matter, The Media Gaze will be of great use in classes on media and cultural studies, as well as by those in the media profession. An extremely engaging, soundly researched, important book. Author: Frances Henry, co-author of The Colour of Democracy: Racism in Canadian Society, 4th edition Book Description The Media Gaze presents the hidden biases of the Canadian media industry to show how diversities and difference are systematically misrepresented by the mainstream media.
