Power Dimensions in Journalism: A Framework for Intersectional Journalism Studies
Stine Eckert and Karin Assmann, “Power Dimensions in Journalism: A Framework for Intersectional Journalism Studies,” manuscript accepted for publication in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly as part of the special issue "Hidden, Yet Pervasive: Social Inequality in Journalism (Research).
Abstract: We offer “Power Dimensions in Journalism” as a framework to systematically and holistically expose understudied intersections in journalism studies. This framework emphasizes two under-researched axes of identity in gender media studies: migration and intra-national identities. We adapt Collins and Bilge’s (2020) four domains of power of intersectionality to examine how intersecting axes of identity are researched in journalism scholarship, in media production, content, and reception. Applying this framework as a heuristic tool in the German context demonstrates its utility in diverse national contexts to reveal connections between macro, meso, and micro levels.
