From Aunt Jemima to Anita Hill: media's split image of black women
Article Abstract:
The image of black women portrayed by television, advertising, music videos, and the print media, over the latter half of the 20th century, reflects the dualistic perception of the media, and the way black women have come to see themselves. The stereotyped image of Aunt Jemima is now giving way to the news image of Anita Hill because of increasing media recognition of the success black women have achieved.

The pale males of punditry
Article Abstract:
The predominance of men over women in media has not changed, as even the coverage of crime, sports, welfare reform, and health events is biased. The paucity of media coverage of women is a result of the refusal of most media agencies to admit that women are as interesting as men, are in closer touch with the needs of the people, and are better at making people think than most men.
