Straight News
Gays, Lesbians, and the News Media
Edward Alwood
From the flurry of reportage on alleged sexual depravity in the 1950s, to the greater sensitivity of the media toward the AIDS epidemic, Straight News traces the stories that made the cut and the changing attitudes toward gay issues. Alwood’s analysis of the relationship between gays and lesbians and the American news media offers hope that positive developments will continue, but shows that there is still far to go. 31 illustrations.
