Description
Still today, the unequal and gendered distribution of power and participation in American politics remains perplexing. To address this challenge, Banwart and Bystrom examine the research from political communication, political science, and psychology to deepen our understanding of the intersection of gender and politics.
Starting with the most common theoretical approaches, they trace the history of women's right to vote in the U.S., women's political participation, the political socialization of U.S. citizens, gendered political candidate communication, and gendered media coverage. The authors demonstrate how gender stereotypes play an influential role in citizens' perceptions of both politics and those seeking to participate in it. They conclude with an analysis of the 2022 midterm election cycle to expose lessons learned and existing barriers as we look to 2024 and beyond.

"No doubt the advent of digital technologies has changed how we consume, experience, and share traditional media, and motion pictures have not been immune. New Media Technology and Motion Pictures insightfully explores the industrial, social, and cultural impacts of new media technologies on motion pictures. It captures the current state of affairs in the motion picture industry while simultaneously addressing the cultural implications of recent technological innovations in filmmaking."-Alec C.

"In the ever-changing digital media landscape, society needs to stop and consider the continuously developing impact of technology, which is why New Media Technology and Motion Pictures is the right book at the right time. Daniel Hunt has assembled work from leading film and media studies scholars using multi-method approaches to report where the film industry stands and what it means for creators and audiences alike. Daniel Hunt's book is an excellent resource for film and media studies courses and will be a staple of many scholars' bookshelves."
