News media plays an important role in shaping and reflecting public opinion and public policy in race and ethnicity. Media coverage filters information through framing: “a system of reporting wherein reporters use a particular narrative structure, rely on officials as sources, and invoke public opinion in particular ways that, taken together, serve to marginalize collective actors and their issues” Wilkes et al 2010, p. 41). In this assignment, you are asked to analyze how the news frames an issue in race and ethnicity that you are interested in.

Once you have your article chosen, ask yourself how it frames the topic you’ve chosen. Treat the news articles like data to be analyzed, not like research sources. Ask yourself: Who does the article interview? What does the article leave out? What types of imagery accompany the article? What stance does the article take on the issue? What impression does the reader come away from the article with about the topic?

As you write your analysis, you need to draw on at least two scholarly . One of these can be the course textbook. Ask yourself: How do your findings compare to other empirical articles on the topic? How do theories of race/ethnicity help explain your findings? How do historical/contemporary race relations help contextualize your findings?
