The panel will discuss such
questions as “Do misperceptions and assumptions about race distort media
coverage of public officials, political preferences, and the importance of some
issues? Is the media’s spotlight on public officials of color too harsh, or
sometimes not harsh enough? Was Todd Stroger, for example, treated differently
than Richard M. Daley? Is the Black vote or the Hispanic vote treated as a
monolith?”
The panel is free and open to the
public.
Panelists include Mark Brown,
Sun-Times columnist; Delmarie Cobb, media and political consultant; Hermene
Hartman, CEO of Hartman Publishing Group; Esther Cepeda, columnist; and Charles
Thomas, ABC 7 News political reporter. Chicago Reader reporter Mick Dumke will
moderate.
