There have been many racially motivated murders in Britain in recent years that have received little media attention or public expressions of concern. The 1993 murder of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence, a black student, proved to be very different. Through time and growing media interest, the name of Stephen Lawrence became a potent symbol and catalyst for change. This particular killing prompted widespread re-examination of questions of (in)justice, cultural identity, and continuing racism in British society, and it eventually initiated processes of institutional reflexivity, including government policies targeting institutional racism within Britain's most powerful organizations of state and civil society. This book examines the media's role in performing the Stephen Lawrence case over the ten-year period since Lawrence's murder.
Developing the framework of mediatized public crisis, this book carefully examines how and why the British and international media turned the Stephen Lawrence case into a watershed moment with potentially transformative effects. To understand this, we need to attend to the expressive possibilities of symbols and journalism forms, the dynamics and contingencies that inhere within both politics and narrative, as well as the strategic interventions of involved interests and identities. This important book provides new insights into how and why the media report and, occasionally, perform issues of race in ways that can unleash moral forces for social change. Includes many newspaper images from the British press; a list of racially motivated murders from 1970 to 2003; a detailed chronology of the Stephen Lawrence case; and the Macpherson recommendations and social reforms.

* What are the latest developments in the production, representation and reception of media output, produced by, for or about ethnic minorities? * What informs the questions media researchers ask and pursue when examining the mass media and ethnic minorities? * What are the principal forces of change currently shaping the field? There are few media issues more pressing, or potentially more consequential, than the representation of ethnic minorities. This authoritative text therefore brings together leading international researchers who have examined some of the latest processes of change (and continuity) informing the field of ethnic minorities and the media. Numerous studies of 'race', racism and the mass media have been conducted in the past. However, both the media landscape and the cultural field of ethnic minorities are fast changing, and this book addresses the recent developments which have threatened to outpace our ability to map, understand and intervene in processes of change. Presented in an accessible style, this book provides the reader with an overview of the very latest research findings and informed discussion. It opens with an introductory essay which maps recent approaches to the field, followed by substantive chapters which are structured thematically to address key processes of change such as media representations, media production, and cultures of identity.

TV News, Urban Conflict and the Inner City (Studies in Communication and Society)

The problems and issues of the inner city, particularly crime and serious disorder, are a constant feature of TV news and current affairs programmes in Britain and overseas. This is a study of journalists, programme makers, and senior corporate managers in a major TV company, the programmes they make and the way in which they present to the public an account of the meaning of inner city conflict. The central concern of the book is the creation of meaning: the construction of beliefs about events, problems, crises and places. The author points out how and why the television media have sustained or undermined opposing political viewpoints on the facts, meanings and, hence, appropriate causes of action relating to inner city disorder. His analysis and conclusions will be of interest to broadcasting and print journalists, students of mass media and communication, sociology and urban policy. Dr Simon Cottle lectures on mass communication at Bath College. He has published on the Rushdie affair, TV news and race and TV audience research.
