Texte du rabat

Junctures in Women’s Leadership: Media and Journalism analyzes what motivates and enables women to become media leaders, what obstacles they face, how they solve problems, and the intersecting impacts of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and age. In addition to looking at executive leadership, it considers moral leadership and willingness to innovate. Spanning the history of U.S. commercial, non-commercial, and alternative media, the book includes cases in print, broadcast, PR, film, and digital media.
