An evaluative examination that challenges the media to rise above
the systematic racism and sexism that persists across all channels,
despite efforts to integrate. The Internet and social networks have
opened up new avenues of communication for women and people of
color, but the mainstream news is still not adequately including
minority communities in the conversation. Part of the Racism in
America series, How Racism and Sexism Killed the Traditional Media:
Why the Future of Journalism Depends on Women and People of Color
reveals the lack of diversity that persists in the communication
industry. Uncovering and analyzing the racial bias in the media and
in many newsrooms, this book reveals the lesser-known side of the
media-newsrooms and outlets that are often fraught with underlying
racist and sexist tension. Written by a veteran journalist of
color, this title brings an insider's perspective combined with
interviews from industry experts. The book analyzes the traditional
media's efforts to integrate both women and people of color into
legacy newsrooms, highlighting their defeats and minor successes.
The author examines the future of women and people of color in the
mainstream media. Gives a thorough background on the history of
minority-produced media Highlights ideas for improving hiring
practices and coverage for minorities Identifies the growing number
of news consumers who are people of color Provides a chronology of
