For Monday, Nov. 11: The Importance of Images

NO CLASS (Veterans Day). ASSIGNMENT DUE by 11:59 p.m. ET. Words are important, but if a picture speaks a thousand of them, then editors, writers, and multimedia journalists need to pay closer attention to the images they use to illustrate their stories. For this assignment, you will find an example of an image used to illustrate an article having to do with race, sex or gender. Write a short (200-300 word) essay explaining why the image that was published was problematic, and offer suggestions for at least two alternative images that might have worked better.  Email the essay and links to the article showing the problematic image to me by 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 11.  This assignment is worth 10 points, and will lose 20% of its value for every day that it is late.

Take note of how often and what kinds of questions are posed to female candidates or candidates of color compared with white males. Notice who gets interrupted, and who is doing the interrupting. Are the moderators allowing all candidates equal time to respond? Who is getting the most time, and on what topics? What are the pundits discussing after the debate? Take notes, and come to class prepared to discuss whether and how race and/or gender affected media coverage, or not. “ Many Say the Press Has Been Too Tough on Sarah Palin ” by Tom Rosentiel, Pew Research Center “ Palin Attacks Media for Her Treatment During ...
