answerSubmitted by MRM on Wed, 01/30/2008 - 11:48pm.answer: Searching in the Gender Studies Database (possibly available at your college), I found a reference to the following book: Blending Genders: Social Aspects of Cross-Dressing and Sex-Changing (1996). It contains the "Gender Fucking or Fucking Gender?" essay mentioned in the answer above. If you're interested in less scholarly uses of the term/concept, you could try searching in Google Groups, a search that includes Usenet postings going back to the 1990s. question: QUESTION: what is genderfucking?

Taylor on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 1:16pm.question / pregunta: I would like to have a list of the corporations that own more than 25 radio stations each in the United States. radio station ownershipSubmitted by laura on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 1:27pm.answer: The Columbia Jouranlism Review's Who Owns What? database is invaluable for this sort of question. Although I can't get it to spit out a list, you can go through and check manually on each company's ownership of different types of media. I checked through the Cs and so far came up with CBS, Citadel Broadcasting, Clear Channel, Corus, Cox, and Cumulus as outfits that own more than 25 radio stations. Additional resources for this questionSubmitted by jbeek on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 1:52pm.answer: For data as of 2005 there is a chart on the page on radio ownership and a table of the top 25 radio companies on the Project for Excellence in Journalism's report on the State of the News Media 2007. Click the table heading for "total" to sort by stations owned rather than news, and you will find that all of the top 25 own more than 25 stations. (Entercom's entry on the latter chart should read "103" not "3") In addition to that and the above answer, you might want to check out a NYC Collective January 2008 Meeting MinutesSubmitted by Alycia on Tue, 01/22/2008 - 6:01pm.January 18, 2008 |
