Media Queered is a groundbreaking assessment of minorities and the media. Authorities including
Larry Gross Edward Alwood Lisa Henderson and Marguerite Moritz join several new scholars to
examine four aspects of visibility: history expertise popularity and technology. To
supplement this research media practitioners including journalists working in the gay and
mainstream press contribute a unique series of interludes. The first is by Studs Terkel who
interviewed founders of the U.S. homophile movement. Written for scholars students and
instructors of media and gender studies Media Queered is also accessible for general readers
intrigued by the recent flowering of queer characters themes and images in popular culture.
