This title offers a systematic overview of the foundations, theories and empirical findings of feminist communication and media studies with special focus on the German speaking context. The contributions deal with historical developments and the current status of the entire spectrum of feminist and gender communication and media studies: information and entertainment in the media, television and film genres, social media, journalism, advertising, public relations, media policy, media education, media psychology and media ethics from a gender perspective are presented just as systematically as the topics of the women's movement, violence, body and sexuality discourses in the media.
