Racial Discrimination In Media

1098 Words5 Pages

Lights, camera, action! No, this isn’t about a movie. It’s about the public being behind screens recording and having the ability to say whatever they want, to muslims and other minority races. These races are being discriminated on media. Civilians who might go over on these news articles, blogs, posts, tweets, might have different emotions on how to feel. Would they go against the problem and make a difference or go along with it. What would you do? There are many opinions on addressing race on media. Proponents believe they when these specific races are being discriminated on media they should be more strict and have consequences for their actions but opponents believe when the public is being discriminated on media, it’s to show that these people are not great for the public, they might even include recent facts about how countries are being destroyed and there are killings by these specific race. I argue that racial discrimination on the media should be addressed more than it already is. I think this because hearing horrible news can cause poor mental and physical health. (“Trump is a Textbook Racist” - Jay A. Pearson) Minority races are still shown more negatively in media than white people. (“Disrupting Implicit Racial Bias and Other Forms of Discrimination to Improve Access Achievement, and Wellness for Students of Color” - David J. Johns) Also there are videos on media, about people getting verbally abused especially races that are constantly attacked. Surprisingly

    “Ferguson: the take from major media outlets” The media undeniably influences society’s perceptions of everyday events. Of course, what version of media people look at also influences their views. With the plethora of media and vast array of accessibility of said media, it seems somewhat impossible for major media outlets to offer the exact same perspective when covering an issue. Recently, there’s been an increased amount of small-town issues that have sparked with the help of social media and are now being reported on by most news outlets. One of those events is the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Selective media coverage tends to show the most radical events in the course of an issue’s arc. Often, broadcast media covers Black Lives Matter and other protests that include or are perpetuated by violent disturbances, while overlooking civil meetings, speeches, and demonstrations. Broadcast media is also often restricted to out-of-context sound bites from certain speeches or conferences when covering them, leaving the public to research for themselves what exactly occurred. To an extent, civil disobedience exposes the bias of the media.

    Second of all, Stacey isn 't telling the truth. A simple Google search will show there are plenty of non-blacks who win BET and Image awards. This is the very reason why organizations catering to minorities like BET awards, NAACP, exist, at least to advance the causes of other minorities that are constantly overlooked by the mainstream media. Otherwise, if we did not have these awards shows, how would the talents of these black actors be recognized in mainstream America or institutions when awards show like the Oscars constantly refuse to acknowledge them.

    One subject that is always being contemplated on is the media 's double standard when it comes to minorities. When Caucasian people have a riot it is not really talked down on because, it happens after games are lost in sports.

Media should report facts concisely and promptly with as much accurate information as possible. When networks allow to dictate how they report news, there is a much greater chance to be biased. When networks accept monetary incentives to report in a specific manner, there is a much greater chance to be biased.
