Building on feminist and race theory, this textual analysis examines how national media outlets framed the coverage of missing Black and White women during the mid-2000s. This study argues that race and external factors such as attractiveness and youthfulness function as unfair criteria of newsworthiness in mainstream media coverage of women. Findings indicate that journalists overlooked missing Black women while they objectified missing White women. It is imperative to question how reporters present information to the public because news coverage of issues often sets the tone for how audiences perceive them. Additionally, media's reliance on a patriarchal representation of the world that values women based on looks and body size is detrimental to all women. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
