Written by , Posted in Uncategorized

NPR TV critic Eric Deggans will be leading a discussion Tuesday titled “Decoding the Race Baiting of Modern Media” from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Annenberg Hall atrium. Deggans will explore how media outlets use prejudice, stereotypes and racism to generate audiences and increase profits. Deggans believes the result of this manipulation is mistaken ideas about race difference and culture. Using different examples ranging from media coverage of the protests in Ferguson, Missouri to clips from the reality TV show Big Brother, Deggans will deconstruct how different types of racism manifest in modern media. He will reference his recent book, “Race-Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide A Nation.” This event is free and open to all.
