Paradoxically, while sex is everywhere in the media (sex sells!) the research into the coverage of sexuality by journalists is seriously marginalised in the academy. Look for texts on journalism’s representation of love-making (in all its many manifestations) or a definition of ‘sex journalism’ and you will find very little. The opening section of Sex & Journalism: Critical, Global Perspectives provides two important overviews by Belinda Middleweek and Matthew Ricketson.The second section carries case studies by an international group of distinguished journalists-turned-academics. Subjects include:•reporters who dare to appropriate normally pejorative terms such as ‘slut’ and ‘sex object’ to promote progressive notions about gender and sexuality; •the ethics and methods in Gay Talese’s The Voyeur’s Motel; •a group of prostitutes in Mexico who turned to journalism to tell their unique stories; •sex crimes, cover-ups and conspiracy theories;•the coverage of homosexuality in 1980s Portugal; •and how a television investigation disrupted consent laws in New South Wales, Australia. Contributors include Kylie Cardell and Emma Maguire, Todd Schack, Claire Konkes, Julie Wheelwright, Antonio Castillo, Manuel Coutinho and Anna Hoyles. The editors are Sue Joseph, Senior Lecturer, University of Technology Sydney, and Richard Lance Keeble, Professor of Journalism at the University of Lincoln and Honorary Professor at Liverpool Hope University.

Small but informative

Reviewed in Spain on 4 August 2020

Verified Purchase

While the book is rather small (like all other publications of bite-sized books), there are several informative articles in it. Few academic publications focus on the subject of Sex and journalism investigating stories concerning it, but this book does it quite well. It includes different authors for each article so there are different styles of writing in it, and the authors are mostly academic so the focus is not on first-person analysis but rather a study on different journalistic works (with a focus on long form journalism). Like I said, rather small but that is the whole point of the bite-sized books publications, and there informative articles in it if you are interested on the subject. 4/5 stars
