I coducted a content analysis of the Florida Times Union from October 9 to October 15. Based on my findings I found that white’s appeared more than blacks in both the “A” section and the “Metro” section of the newspaper. The majority of the white’s were shown either as political, experts, working for the government or were appreciated for their work. The African Americans were seen as either criminals, teachers, and sport players.
I believe that my findings can prove minorities are not shown in the media, or newspaper, as much as white people are. It is sad to see that our world is still facing discrimination againsts the minority.The news organization does not offer diveristy. Besides white’s and blacks I hardly saw any other race, for example, Indian, Arab, Hispanic or Chinese, just to name a few. The Florida Times Union is not the only publication that diminishes minority, its seen everywhere else, movies, television, books, and the internet.
