The Question...

We are all interconnected to the media. That much is obvious in today's world. Newspapers tell us about the many ongoing events in our town. The Internet allows us to do research for our projects. The radio allows us to listen to important news that is happening miles and miles away. Television and movies are here to show us a world outside of our own. But, quite often than not, the people that are talked about in the newspapers, the radio, the movies, and on the Internet are minority groups. So, the question is... What is the direct/indirect role of the media in today's view of minorities?
