Summary

Starting from their 1972 study of women's status in journalism and mass communication education, editors Ramona R. Rush and Carol E. Oukrop, joined by Pamela J. Creedon, bring together voices from the discipline to examine women's struggles for equity over the past 30 years and to identify what issues still lie ahead. The volume concentrates on the study and efforts of women and minority men to gain respect and parity in journalism and mass communication, and focuses on trends over the past three decades. Contributions to the volume provide a history of the equity efforts and offer updates on equity in the academy and in the professions. Theoretical and international perspectives on equity are also included, as are the concerns about equity from the new generations now coming into the profession. This anthology serves as a benchmark of women's current status in journalism and mass communication and provides a call to action for the future. As such, it is required reading for all concerned with establishing equity throughout the disciplines.
