War reporting has traditionally been a male activity. Elite sources like politicians, high ranking military officers and state officials are collectively still dominated by men, and it will take more than the presence of an increased number of female journalists to change this male hegemony.

Through different case studies, the book reveals how the framing of different femininities and masculinities affects the reporting and our understanding of war and conflicts
