na, sede Cuenca, abordan un tema de gran relevancia en nuestra sociedad actual. Utilizando su formación académica como base enriquecedora, estos jóvenes investigadores exploran el fenómeno del discurso de odio en los medios de comunicación ecuatorianos. A través de estudios de caso y análisis críticos rigurosos, examinan cómo ciertas expresiones mediáticas pueden perpetuar estereotipos dañinos, promover la división y socavar los pilares de una sociedad diversa y plural. Este libro no solo arroja luz sobre los desafíos que enfrenta nuestra sociedad respecto al discurso de odio, sino que también destaca la importancia de una comunicación responsable y ética mediante propuestas para mitigar la misoginia, homofobia, racismo, xenofobia y disablismo en los medios de comunicación en el contexto ecuatoriano."

lidades, compreendendo seu papel em nossa formação. O cenário é complexo e sua compreensão demanda ouvir diferentes opiniões para ponderar sobre uma sociedade em constante mutação e apropriação dos canais de informação. Estas novas estruturas são marcadas pela convergência de linguagens e distribuídas das mais diversas formas, concatenadas com diversos canais e em tempo real. O cidadão é um elo em uma cadeia formada por diversos blocos de informação, retransmitidos e remixados. Estes artigos convidam o leitor para uma leitura que demanda a pausa necessária para a compreensão das informações, mas que será realizada junto de anotações tradicionais ou em sistemas de referência para uso em publicações futuras. Além disso, a obra representa a resistência do conhecimento em um momento importante do país. É preciso cada vez mais propagar o conhecimento, utilizando a reflexão para reconectar pessoas em um momento de polarização pelas mais diversas pautas. A alteridade do tempo atual carrega em si conflitos, que serão resolvidos através da empatia e de novas formas de construir um pensamento em sintonia com o porvir." (Descripção casa editorial)

"Growing up in Mogadishu, Somalia, Shirin Ramzanali Fazel was immersed in the language and culture of Italy, Somalia's former colonizer. Yet when she moved to Italy as a young mother in the 1970s, she discovered a country where immigrants and Muslims were viewed with a mixture of curiosity and suspi

cion–where, even today, she and her children must seemingly prove they are Italian. In Islam and Me, Fazel tells her story and shares the experiences of other Muslim women living in Italy, revealing the wide variety of Muslim identities and the common prejudices they encounter. Looking at Italian school textbooks, newspapers, and TV programs, she invites us to change the way Muslim immigrants, and especially women, are depicted in both news reports and scholarly research. Islam and Me is a meditation on our multireligious, multiethnic, and multilingual reality, as well as an exploration of how we might reimagine national culture and identity so that they become more diverse, inclusive, and anti-racist."

"Deutschland ist insbesondere bei den Kindern und Jugendlichen ein Land mit einer Vielfalt an natio-ethno-kulturell-religiösen Hintergründen. Vier von zehn unter 18-Jährigen (39%) haben einen Migrationshintergrund und, insbesondere wenn sie einen dunklen Hautton haben, erfahren Alltagsrassismus.

Wie lässt sich dem begegnen? In diesem Band werden sorgfältig entwickelte Projekte wie „WillkommensKITA“ oder „Kinder gegen Rassismus“ vorgestellt. Wie Medien Rassismus begegnen können, wird anhand der Entwicklung einer antirassistischen Sketch Comedy (Moooment!, KiKA) aufgezeigt. Sorgsam entwickelt und fünffach evaluiert werden typische Facetten von Alltagsrassismus aufgezeigt und damit diskutierbar gemacht. Von Rassismus Betroffene können mit der Sendung ihre Erfahrungen angemessener einordnen und Kinder und Jugendliche, die Rassismus beobachten, können diesen eher erkennen und zu Verbündeten werden. Welche Lösungen Kinder und Preteens für den Umgang mit Rassismen finden, zeigt schließlich eine weitere Studie." (Rückseite)

Gillam looks at a cross-section of media to show the ways Afro-Brazilians assert control over various means of representation in order to present a complex Black humanity. These images--so at odds with the mainstream--contribute to an anti-racist visual politics fighting to change how Brazilian media depicts Black people while highlighting the importance of media in the movement for Black inclusion."

rs discuss how racially disparate outcomes in health, education, wealth/income, housing, and the criminal justice system are often the result of inequity in opportunity and also provide theoretical frameworks for understanding the roots of racial inequity. Examples of model reporting from ProPublica, the Center for Public Integrity, and the San Jose Mercury News showcase best practice in writing while emphasizing community-based reporting. Throughout the book, tools and practical techniques such as the Fault Lines framework, the Listening Post and the authors' Opportunity Index and Upstream-Downstream Framework all help journalists improve their awareness and coverage of structural inequity at a practical level."

"This ethnic conflict frame performs three functions when used by African journalists. The first is that it works to domesticate the conflict [in Darfur] by relying on already sedimented knowledge among African audiences about identity formation … The second function of this frame is based on know

ing that the national media subfields in the three countries [i.e., Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa] have a nuanced understanding of ethnic identities. When asked about the role of ethnicity in Darfur, a Nigerian journalist responded, "It's a factor, religion is a factor as well. Religion shapes ethnicity" (interview with a journalist, Nigeria 2015). This approach alerts us that, as far as African journalists are concerned, ethnicity does not always have a path-deterministic relationship with violence, as some journalists in the Global North have sometimes suggested (Wahutu 2017b, 16-17). The third point is that this ethnic conflict frame works to create a sense of shared affinity between the victims and the audience in Kenya, South Africa and Rwanda while othering those framed as Arab/Muslim as being radically different. This explanation is one that was more present during my interviews with journalists. In both Kenya and South Africa, journalists often viewed as Sudan as not "real Africa." (Page 246)
