Book: Media and Race in America
The Black Image in the White Mind
The Black Image in the White Mind offers the most comprehensive look at the intricate racial patterns in the mass media and how they shape the ambivalent attitudes of Whites toward Blacks. Using the media as barometers of race relations, Robert Entman and Andrew Rojecki explore thetreatment of African Americans on network and local news to incisively uncover the messages sent about race by the entertainment industry. While the authors find very little in the media that intentionally promotes racism, they find even less that advances racial harmony.
