Lack Of Diversity In The MediaBeauty is in the eye of the beholder, however what is considered beautiful by some is not considered beautiful when it comes to diversity in the media. Society is based on the criticism of the judgment of one's character's body, shape and/or race/ethnicity. In the media society only sees a type who focuses only on the perfection of the mind; however, in the United States, it is very typical as the media lacks ethnic representation, cultural identity, and gender inequalities. There is no ethnic representation when it comes to the media world and the media has been trained to believe that ethnic groups have no value. African American and Hispanic writers are the minority group when it comes to a social group. According to journalist Prince and television critic Deggans, “CNN has let go one of its highest profile anchors of color, Soledad O'Brien, and replaced her with a white man, Chris Cuomo. Wolf Blitzer devoted one of his hours to another white man, Tapper. Although Zucker has met with both the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists to try to address their concerns, there has been no obvious sign from CNN that it is bringing in more anchors of color,” (Mirkinson p .1) Ethnicity and appearance have become a huge problem in the media due to the fact that they try to use it as a power to control creativity and refrain from truth in the media. According to journalist Nishijima, A, refers to the Oscars and explains that it is truly absurd how the media is slowly progressing towards a lack of diversity. This was recognized when looking at the Oscars and seeing the one based on predominantly white nominees. Nishijima quotes “Boone Isaacs states… halfway down the page… that it is a social problem. The public response through negative fashion as a way of saying only a particular gender or ethnic group is disfigured. In the United States diversity in the media has a great effect on a person and causes a misconception of an individual's perspective and another individual. An overall solution to the lack of diversity could be to distribute the problem to a wider audience; however, the lack of media diversity solutions have not yet been implemented. My choice to exploit the lack of diversity in the media is to fully understand these “disfigured” communities. The only way to be different is to put an end to stereotypical thoughts about your ethnicity or gender and to accept the fact that people have different ethnic origins and come in different shapes, colors and sizes, and society should not discriminate against them. minority groups.
