Abstract:
Heider examines the perceptions of racism and ethnicity, and addresses such dichotomies as "white" news (content determined by White managers) being delivered by non-White news anchors, thus giving the appearance of "non-White" news. He also considers how coverage of minorities influences viewers' perceptions of their minority neighbors. Heider then sets forth a new theoretical concept--incognizant racism--as a way of explaining how news workers consistently ignore news in significant portions of the communities they cover. This contribution to the minorities and media discussion provides important insights into the newsroom decision-making process and the sociology and structure of newsrooms. It is required reading for all who are involved in news reporting, mass communication, media and minority studies, and cultural issues in today's society.
