The third edition of Diversity in U.S. Mass Media offers a comprehensive overview of the theoretical approaches used to study diversity and inclusion in U.S. mass media. It provides insight into the major issues pertaining to the portrayals of various social groups in an intersectional way, and examines the ways in which many groups -- including Black Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinx populations -- are represented across all forms of media. This new edition includes a full discussion on the explosion of digital media and the different streaming platforms and social media, including TikTok, and the ways in which their algorithms shape what consumers view of different social groups. This fully updated textbook covers topical issues such as the rise and impact of social movements such as Black Lives Matter and #metoo, with emphasis on the ways in which the highly publicized deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others galvanized the Hollywood industry to make changes and give more voice, presence, and agency to Black Americans. For students studying in the areas of Media, Film, Communications, and Journalism, as well as any course covering issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, this new edition provides a definitive resource on the coverage of diverse social groups in the media"--
