Abstract

This chapter examines the past, present, and future of gender identity and outlines continued challenges in the future. It specifically looks at how journalism and media more generally propagate gender stereotypes in the news. Journalists do not necessarily help to clarify issues sufficiently to educate society, perhaps due to their own biases and misunderstandings. This chapter investigates how media coverage in the past has not been consistently positive in covering issues related to gender when the people involved function outside traditional roles. The author suggests this is not likely to change in the near to distant future.
