This book addresses endemic issues of racism in news media at what
is a critical moment in time, as journalists around the world speak
out en masse against the prejudice and inequality in the industry.
As the events of 2020 - the death of George Floyd, the rise in
prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement - have drawn new and
focused attention to inequality, white supremacy, and systemic
racism, including in the media, this volume chronicles this racial
reckoning, revisiting and examining the issues that it has raised.
The author analyses media output by racialized and Indigenous
journalists, identifying the racial make-up of newsrooms; the
dominance of white perspectives in news coverage; interpretations
of ethics downplaying systemic racism and bias; ignorance of racist
history in editorial decisions and news content; and diversity and
inclusion measures. The actions taken by news organizations in
response to the reckoning are also detailed and placed in the
context of existing race and media scholarship, to offer emerging
strategies to address journalism's longstanding issues with racism
in news content and newsrooms. Grounding the interplay between news
media and race within this pivotal moment in history, this text
will be an important resource for students and scholars of
journalism, journalism ethics, sociology, cultural studies,
organizational studies, media and communication studies.
