Hate Crime and the Media: Is it Responsible Journalism
Leonard Davis Auditorium, Gerontology Building
Co-sponsored by Annenberg's Program for Sexual Orientation Issues in the News and the Unruh Institute for Politics, this symposium will examine how the media - ranging from newspapers; network, local, and cable news; the Internet; to talk radio/tv - handle hate crime stories. Do the news media cover hate violence well? Do they skim for sensational crimes? Do they stimulate copycat violence?
