Racial Stereotypes in the Media
This program examines the relationship between mass media and the social constructs of race from political and economic perspectives and looks at the effects media has on the viewing audience.
Demeaning and offensive racial stereotypes were pervasive in popular media in the 20th century. Today, representations of race are much more sensitive. By examining race in media, a new racism is starting to emerge.
There is the disparity of the treatment of stories involving whites and people of colour in the news. The creation of thousands of television stations has created an isolationism and narrow casting of cultures.
