This panel looked beyond diversity as a box-ticking exercised and explore why newsrooms should start to consider it a legitimate business strategy to grow their audience. This includes not only gender and ethnicity, but also class, nationality, faith, sexual orientation, age, location, and other aspects of identity, all necessary to better understand and represent our audiences.
When you think of the pioneers of the public relations profession who comes to mind? The Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations hosted a free webinar on Thursday, May 4, 2017, titled “Hidden Figures in PR: Putting a Long-Overdue Spotlight on African-American PR Pioneers."
Our textbooks taught us the pioneers of our profession—Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays—but this webinar shined a light on those the textbooks missed. Students, educators and practitioners will discover the “Hidden Figures in PR.”
At the invitation of the East Tennessee chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the University of Tennessee Women’s Coordinating Council, Moxley Carmichael CEO Cynthia Moxley moderated a panel on March 25 on the subject of women in journalism. Topics covered included the “glass ceiling” and whether it still exists (it does!) and whether women politicians are covered differently than their male counterparts (they are!).
But one of the more lively parts of the discussion centered around why some women journalists insist on dressing provocatively while they are doing their jobs – and whether this hurts their chances of being treated equally. We thought you’d like to see some of the examples used in the discussion. Thanks to the wonderful journalists who participated in the panel: Jean Ash, formerly of WIVK; Georgiana Vines, political columnist for the News Sentinel; Erin Donovan of WBIR-TV; and Jigsha Desai, of the News Sentinel and knoxnews.com.

King, Thomas. The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2003.
In "Truth about Stories," Thomas King explores different stories of the Native American people culture and his own experience as an Indian. King gives a perspective on the relationship, culture, and social history of the Native Americans. He uses storytelling and gears it to current issues that are affecting American society and even the world. He digs deep into how racism, oppression, and discrimination have affected the Indian populations living in America.
Lopez, Lori Kido. “Fan Activists and the Politics of Race in The Last Airbender.” International Journal of Cultural Studies, vol. 15, no. 5, Sept. 2016, pp. 431–445,
The authors focus on the American consciousness in terms of the country being a multiracial community. They begin the journal by explaining how the set up of the United States is based on the majority and minority communities in the country. The consideration of the factors leads to the broader understanding of how specific process needs to be followed to ensure that equality is maintained in different classes. The representation of the minority communities through the media is a critical activity that takes place in the paper. This is key in highlighting how most films depict the actual set up of the country. A look at the aspect through the film the last air-bender explains the existing differences that the media is critical at depicted. The multicultural context is clearly represented in the paper, which gives a perfect understanding of how the process is supposed to take place to ensure that equality is promoted.
Del Río, Esteban. “Accentuate the Positive: Americanos and the Articulation of Latina/o Life in the United States.” Journal of Communication Inquiry, vol. 36, no. 3, July 2015, pp. 179–201,
The author explains the literary context of American society. This takes place through a broader explanation of the American consciousness in a unique manner that facilitates a general understanding of the author's central message. The approach of the topic through the Latino communities perfectly explains the situation. It is evident that the Latinos are a minority community in the country. The fact that they are part of American society is a crucial issue that cannot be ignored. The surrounding of the country explains the reason behind the existence of the minority communities in the country. Its depiction in the media films reveals the influences that the community has in the country. The fact that they make up a significant part of the American society is a critical issue that the author addresses uniquely that one can clearly understand what his intention highlighting the question of American consciousness in the multicultural country was.

AHMIR’S POST:
African- Americans from the rural South did not migrate to the north voluntarily, but were pushed out of the south by certain factors. Also, choosing to move to the North was not a coincidence, but were pulled there by some factors as well.
The massive migration that occurred between 1916 to 1970 was primarily caused by the push factor such as convict leasing, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the widespread increase in racist ideologies that were making the lives of African- Americans unbearable. They were forced to move in large troops when Jim Crow introduced laws that kept the African Americans in an inferior position which denied them political rights even to air out their grievances. So they chose to move to the North, where racial segregation was not mandated even though racism was rampant.
Another factor that pushed the African-Americans out to the North was the lack of employment opportunities in the South. The poor economic conditions in the South made survival very difficult. The situation was made worse by the continuous failing of crops, limitation of sharing cropping on the farms, limited land for farming, and crop damage from the boll weevil. Also, the Jim Crow laws' social and racial oppression made possible meant that they could not even market their produce freely. The lynching of African Americans did also push them out in large numbers.
The main pull factor for the great migration of African Americans to the North was encouraging reports of reasonable wages and better living conditions in the North. These reports came from African soldiers who had returned from the war and were also reported in the African American newspapers. They were pulled by the economic opportunities found in the industrial cities, which mean ...
