Abstract: The boundaries of participation in journalistic production and reception are discovered through rigorous and critical scholarship. Yet the field operates within its own, often invisible boundaries. Both journalism and journalism studies currently lack a nuanced understanding of intersectionality. With our Power Dimensions in Journalism framework we offer an approach that remediates blind spots and contributes to a more robust theory construction of journalism and the boundaries of intersectional research.
