Diversity Wanted in Tennessee HBCU Media Coverage
|
Posted By: autumn cade on July 06, 2010 Not only does the Tennessean face a glaring disparity in its coverage of TSU, but most of the state’s traditional and large news sources must own up to the blaring omission of coverage for schools like Fisk, Knoxville, LeMoyne-Owen, Meharry and Lane. Each of these institutions are making significant strides socially and academically, and when they misstep, are deserving of responsible, critical coverage instead of no public account at all. So what can HBCU’s and their constituents do to offset the white-out of HBCU media coverage? Supporting organizations like the Center for HBCU Media Advocacy is a tremendous start for national scale, but shaping the local news culture takes a localized, long-term movement. Encourage children to produce stories and perspectives on the HBCUs where they grow up. Connect with civic, religious and recreational organizations to advocate for HBCUs. The media we create for ourselves is the media bias complaint we don’t have to make to someone else. http://www.hbcudigest.com/2010/06/diversit...
