Welcome to the Ethnicity, Racism and Media (ERaM) discussion
forum, hosted by the Black Agenda.
ERaM is devoted to all aspects pertaining
to the role of mass media in generating and disseminating representations of race and
ethnicity. Collectively, ERaM provides a global research network open to those academics,
media professionals and others engaged in systematic research or professional practice in
the area of ethnicity, racism and media.
The purpose of this forum is to
identify, examine and separate the myths about the role and portrayal of ethnicity and
race in the media.
Hence, the ERaM forum welcomes discussions of topics directly
related to the writings, speeches, taped recordings, photographs, movies, documentaries
and the numerous books and articles written about ethnicity, racism and media.
