"Using examples of the existing media coverage of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, geography, social and marital status, this handbook offers a set of educational tools that can be used in a classroom to develop sensitivity to diversity, to increase students’ analytical skills in relation to news content and to enrich students’ knowledge and understanding of the relationship between social diversity and the media [...] The handbook is aimed to be used as a textbook in journalism schools. It has been written in the context of China, but its content and examples would also serve journalism teachers elsewhere well." (Introduction, page 8)
