Racial and ethnic inclusiveness has grown to be more important in the United States as its society has become increasingly diverse. Racism, Sexism, and the Media, Fourth Edition examines how people of color fit into the fabric of America and how the media tell them and others how they fit. In this new edition, authors Clint C. Wilson, Félix Gutiérrez, and Lena M. Chao explore the convergence of new media technologies along with the continued demographic segmentation of audiences as people of color grow as targets of and markets for the media. The Fourth Edition of Racism, Sexism, and the Media includes updated content on topics covered in the previous editions, such as film, television, radio, print media, advertising, and public relations, expanded coverage on women of color (including an integrated assessment of their media experiences), and new material on Muslim, Arab, and Asian groups and on new technologies and social media use and their impact. This book is essential reading for students and scholars seeking to understand how the media represent minorities.
