About this book
The Media Gaze presents the hidden biases of the Canadian media industry to show how diversities and difference are systematically misrepresented by the mainstream media.
The Media Gaze is an eye-opening exposé of how mainstream media depictions are ideologically raced, gendered, classed, sexualized, secularized, and ageist.
Author / Editor information
Augie Fleras is a professor of sociology at the University of Waterloo.
Reviews
Catherine Murray, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University, and Former Vice President of Media & Telecommunications at Decima Research:
This is the first time that ageism, gay, lesbian, “working class” masculinities, Aboriginal, and a range of other minority representations are brought together under discussions of the politics of identity and representation in Canada. The Media Gaze is an exceptionally important book, and will be used widely in sociology, communications, gender studies, and journalism courses.

Frances Henry, co-author of The Colour of Democracy: Racism in Canadian Society, 4th edition:
Written by an author in full control of his subject matter, The Media Gaze will be of great use in classes on media and cultural studies, as well as by those in the media profession. An extremely engaging, soundly researched, important book.
Yasmin Jiwani, author of Discourses of Denial: Mediations of Race, Gender, and Violence:
The Media Gaze makes a major contribution to the growing field of media analysis of race, class, and gendered representations. It will become a prime source for students working in critical media studies, and for scholars looking for an updated analysis of the Canadian mediascape.
