My team, JBAT, and I have been conducting research which deals with the question of how minority candidates are portrayed in the media. This is important because it tells us about the biases that the audience encounters as a result of the media's inclinations to depict candidates of certain races and genders in certain ways. We can also see the effect that the media may or mat not have on the outcomes of elections in minority candidates cases and now more than ever, more minority candidates are running for different positions of office. This question will be answered through researching different times in history in which this has occurred (from the 1990's on) and the media's favorability or unfavorability of these candidates will be evaluated here to forth. Please enjoy the research and please expand upon it. Our results intrigued and excited. This is where the research occured:
And here is a video clip showing just some of what we were looking at to tell us more about our research: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vALfxFU6QY
