Abstract
[First paragraph]
When the pioneering psychologist John Money died in Baltimore in 2006, accounts in the popular press were surprisingly scarce and low‐key. Major newspapers in New Zealand (where Money was born), Australia, and Canada provided similar 300‐word to 500‐word obituary‐type stories (see “Sexologist,” “Kiwi Sexologist,” “Sex Researcher Coined”). An item in the ironically‐named “First with the News” edition of the Courier Mail in Australia ran on July 27th, some three weeks after his death and more than two weeks after reports elsewhere (“Sex Researcher Helped” 83). In the Washington Post, notice of Money’s death was placed ignominiously below the headline obit for the founder of a mattress factory (“Luis Barragan” C‐7). Few outside the world of scholarly work in sex, gender, and sexuality were aware a seminal and controversial figure had exited the stage.
