The Accrediting Council of Educators in Journalism and Mass
Communications (ACEJMC) recently added sexual orientation to its
revised diversity standards. This means that journalism schools
seeking accreditation or re-accreditation must develop a curriculum
that fosters an understanding of issues and perspectives that is
inclusive in terms of gender, race, ethnicity - and sexual
orientation. This volume, containing original material written for
this text, is designed to satisfy the requirement by the ACEJMC
that all journalism departments teach sexual diversity. Moving from
description, to analysis, to application, the text includes the
history of media coverage of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender,
and intersex (GLBTI) issues; and coverage of important contemporary
issues in the news, such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the rise of
GLBTI families, and AIDS. News and Sexuality: Media Portraits of
Diversity is a practical teaching tool that will help educators
meet these new accreditation standards by addressing these complex
and often controversial issues, providing additional resources,
discussion questions, suggested homework assignments, and a
glossary of terms. Student journalists must be equipped to bring a
general knowledge of sexual diversity issues to the table as part
of their professional education repertoire. And any adult who
consumes media messages, whether or not they work in media, also
must be able to spot inaccurate or biased reporting Key Features:
