"Race and News: Critical Perspectives aims to examine journalistic representations of race, and in doing so to question whether or not we are living in a post-racial world. The book itself is divided into two sections, with the first examining the journalistic routine and the decisions that go into covering a story with, or without, relation to race. The second section, comprised of case studies, explores the coverage of national stories and how they have impacted the dialogue on race and racism in the United States."
