Ethnic Groups in the Paper

My graph showed that the most frequently seen ethnic group were caucasian males. They were portrayed as political figures and successful business men or police officers. The second most frequently shown group were white females. They were also portrayed as political figures and successful people. Then I saw african american men. They were portrayed as either criminals or cops. The last group were black females. They were hardly ever in the paper and if they were it was mostly in the background. I think I found this information because people are still trying to portray certain ethnic groups as the “bad guys” and the others as “the heroes”. I think the news should offer more diversity and in a fair way. Not every black man is a criminal and not every white man is a saint. I think there should be a way for each ethnic group to be able to produce their own news coverage so that they are not always painted in a bad light.
