Gendered power relations in the digital age: an analysis of Japanese women’s media choice and use within a global context

“…Media consumption inside 'media-rich homes' has long been an important subject in media scholarship (David Morely 1988;Ellen Wartella and Nancy Jennings 2001;Supriya Singh 2001;Gill 2007;Lorna Stevens, Pauline Maclaran, and Miriam Catterall 2007).
