Last week, SAGE Publications released the fourth edition of “Racism, Sexism and the Media: Multicultural Issues into the New Communications Age,” co-written by USC Annenberg journalism and communication professor Felix Gutierrez, and USC Annenberg alumni Clint C. Wilson and Lena M. Chao.
The bestselling textbook covers topics relating to the media and their approach to issues involving different genders, races and ethnicities in America. The updated edition uses the most current research and information available from the 2010 Census, adds new material on different ethnic groups and technology, and provides insight from the authors’ about the future of minorities and mass communication.
Gutierrez is also a professor of American Studies and Ethnicity in the USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
In addition to being a USC Annenberg alumnus, Wilson is a professor of journalism in the School of Communications at Howard University. While at USC, Wilson received his Master of Arts in journalism and his Ed.D. in higher education administration.
Chao is a professor of communication studies at California State University, Los Angeles. She received her Master of Science in print journalism and her Ph.D. in communication studies from USC.
The three co-authors were honored with the Society of Professional Journalists’ Sigma Delta Chi Medallion for Excellence in Research about Journalism for an earlier edition of their textbook in 2004.
