Media Analysis
WIMN's media analysis program raises awareness of pervasive myths, exposes sexism and other biases in media content and debunks inaccurate and misleading coverage. We also call attention to culturally enriching entertainment options as well as journalists producing critical, thoughtful and balanced coverage. The following are some of the ways we help concerned individuals understand, confront and critique representations of women in news and entertainment media.
Multimedia Lecture SeriesWIMN's multimedia presentations give students and community activists a deeper understanding of of women, media, politics and pop culture. Participants learn critical media literacy skills, and gain tools to begin advocating for media justice. Topics include: reality TV as backlash against women; double standards in media coverage of female politicians; the marginalization of women's voices in coverage of war and terrorism; and other important media issues. Find out more about these and other presentations, read what participants say about the experience, and learn how to bring WIMN's analysis to your campus or community.
