Mary Angela Bock is associate professor in the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a former journalist (print, radio, and television) and public relations writer turned academic with an interest in the sociology of photographic practice, the rhetorical relationship between words and images, and digital media. Bock has authored the book Video Journalism: Beyond the One Man Band and co-authored Visual Communication Theory and Research with Shahira Fahmy and Wayne Wanta and The Content Analysis Reader with Klaus Krippendorff.

Gender and Journalism takes an integrative approach to gender and journalism studies, interweaving these areas to present journalism history and theory through a gendered, specifically women’s studies, lens. It provides general overviews of topics at the intersection of journalism and gender studies and introduces basic vocabulary from both fields. Each chapter ends with reflexive questions designed to encourage and foster media literacy and critical thinking about journalistic practices. The text also supplements the content with images, biographies, and excerpts from primary sources. Bock makes a good effort to take an intersectional approach to “women” by including information about women who are racially and sexually minoritized....The book will be useful as an introductory survey textbook for those studying journalism, culture, and society. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates.
