An updated edition of the comprehensive resource that covers the
various areas associated with representations of diversity within
the mass media The second edition of Diversity in U.S. Mass Media
presents a review of the evolution and the many issues surrounding
portrayals of social groups in the mass media of the United States.
Unfortunately, all too often mass media depictions play a crucial
role in shaping our views about individuals and social groups.
Filled with instructive insights into the ways social groups are
represented through the mass media, Diversity in U.S. Mass Media
offers a better understanding of groups and individuals different
from ourselves. The revised second edition is filled with recent,
illustrative examples from the media. Comprehensive in scope, the
authors address a wide range of issues that include representations
of race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, class,
and religion in films, television, and the press. The authors
encourage readers to question what is being presented and explore
the extent to which they agree with the perspectives that are
described. Diversity in U.S. Mass Media is an important resource
that: Offers an understanding of how various social groups are
being represented in the mass media Explores how diverse
communities inform and intersect with one another Draws on updated
studies on the topic and presents original research and
observations Includes new chapters on media portrayals of mixed
race relationships and multiracial/multiethnic people and
representations of religion and faith Accompanied by a companion
website for instructors including many useful pedagogical tools,
such as a test bank, viewing list, exercises, and sample syllabi
Revised and updated, the second edition of Diversity in U.S. Mass
Media offers a broad perspective on the myriad issues that
influence how the media portrays social groups. Throughout the
text, the authors show consistencies as well as differences in
media representations of minority groups in the United States.
