This study is based upon the assumption that racial ideology plays a major role in the subordination of groups of people and the media act as major contributors in spreading ideological influences. The study is an exploratory examination of the Courier-Journal's contributions to the development of the African American image. It builds on the work of local Historian George C. Wright who examined racial violence in Kentucky from 1865 to 1940 and found that Kentucky newspaper articles glorified lynching. The present study extends the analysis by examining articles from the decades of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Content analysis was performed to examine the role that the dominant media outlet of that time played in reinforcing ideologically inspired racial stereotypes. Articles selected for inclusion in the study were all of those that contained the words "Black", "Colored", "Negro", and "African American," because these words have historically been used as references for African Americans. The articles were graded into four categories: demoralizing, unwholesome, trivial, or worthwhile. Findings in this study show that the Courier-Journal published news articles that contributed to the perpetuation of racial stereotypes in each decade. Over the period of three decades most articles presented negative depictions of black life. However, positive depictions increased with each decade and negative depictions declined. The study concludes that the 1940s was the most detrimental period studied for the development of African American image, and the 1960s was the most positive.

Download and read online ebook Racialism and the Media write by Venise T. Berry. This book was released on 2020-05-15. Racialism and the Media available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Racialism and Media: Black Jesus, Black Twitter and the First Black American President is an exploration of how the nature of racial ideology has changed in our society. Yes, there are still ugly racists who push uglier racism, but there are also popular constructions of race routinely woven into mediated images and messages. This book examines selected exemplars of racialism moving beyond traditional racism. In the twenty-first century, we need a more nuanced understanding of racial constructions. Denouncing anything and everything problematic as racist or racism simply does not work, especially if we want to move toward a real solution to America's race problems. Racialism involves images and messages that are produced, distributed, and consumed repetitively and intertextually based on stereotypes, biased framing, and historical myths about African American culture. These images and messages are eventually normalized through the media, ultimately shaping and influencing societal ideology and behavior. Through the lens of critical race theory these chapters examine issues of intersectionality in Crash, changing Black identity in Black-ish, the balancing of stereotypes in prime-time TV's Black male and female roles, the power of Black images and messages in advertising, the cultural wealth offered through the Black Twitter platform, biased media framing of the first Black American president, the satirical parody of Black Jesus, contemporary Zip Coon stereotypes in film, the popularity of ghettofabulous black culture, and, finally, the evolution of black representation in science fiction.

Download and read online ebook Reel Inequality write by Nancy Wang Yuen. This book was released on 2016-12-12. Reel Inequality available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When the 2016 Oscar acting nominations all went to whites for the second consecutive year, #OscarsSoWhite became a trending topic. Yet these enduring racial biases afflict not only the Academy Awards, but also Hollywood as a whole. Why do actors of color, despite exhibiting talent and bankability, continue to lag behind white actors in presence and prominence? Reel Inequality examines the structural barriers minority actors face in Hollywood, while shedding light on how they survive in a racist industry. The book charts how white male gatekeepers dominate Hollywood, breeding a culture of ethnocentric storytelling and casting. Nancy Wang Yuen interviewed nearly a hundred working actors and drew on published interviews with celebrities, such as Viola Davis, Chris Rock, Gina Rodriguez, Oscar Isaac, Lucy Liu, and Ken Jeong, to explore how racial stereotypes categorize and constrain actors. Their stories reveal the day-to-day racism actors of color experience in talent agents’ offices, at auditions, and on sets. Yuen also exposes sexist hiring and programming practices, highlighting the structural inequalities that actors of color, particularly women, continue to face in Hollywood. This book not only conveys the harsh realities of racial inequality in Hollywood, but also provides vital insights from actors who have succeeded on their own terms, whether by sidestepping the system or subverting it from within. Considering how their struggles impact real-world attitudes about race and diversity, Reel Inequality follows actors of color as they suffer, strive, and thrive in Hollywood.
