Media duscourses on 'race' and gender

Studies in agenda-setting have been demonstrating since 1962, that media influence attitude formation and what issues people perceive as relevant (McCombs and Shaw 1972 ; McCombs 2004, 2014). However, for decades, scholars have been warning about inequalities in the media system, especially with regards to the media coverage of issues such as politics and gender and racial equality, which have been seen as enforcing stereotypes and expected roles. For example, when it comes to ‘race’, Black Britons have become synonymous with knife crime and gang culture, and these images and dominant representations work to influence media consumers and perpetuate systemic oppression (Kilvington and Saeed 2014). Other work focused on British Asians and British Muslims and how their representation of being sociocultural pariahs has fuelled racialized hostility and violence (Poole and Richardson 2006).
