A major re-examination of the history of US media, from the first colonial newspapers to the Internet, alongside a fascinating reappraisal of the rise of ethnic media. Two leading figures in the world of journalism contend that the US news media has both failed to convey the racial diversity of the US accurately (a recent large-scale look at national newscasts revealed that less than one percent of the news involved Latinos) and played a pivotal role in perpetuating racism throughout the history of the US.
