- Description
- The contributors to this volume argue that it all comes down to sex and money: how the media are organized, how they work, what they say, who gets to say it and to whom. The book shows how questions of gender and economics are inextricably linked to issues of power in Western capitalist societies. Integrating political economy and feminism, it offers an understanding of communication at the personal and institutional levels, and exposes the ways in which sex and money are sutured into individual's daily lives.
