Newseum: Today's Front Pages

It's your turn to see if you agree with yesterday’s analysis of race and media coverage.

​

To begin your research, go to Newseum: Archived Today's Front Pages and scroll to "Hurricane Katrina."

​

Click and read the front page of at least 5 different newspapers.

​

Choose one to analyze for the handout. Due @ the end of the period.

Newseum: Today's Front Pages

​

Media Language:

• Does the report use "refugee" or evacuee?"
• Does the report use racially bias language- for instance, claims of "looting" as opposed to "finding"?

Story Angle:

• What is the focus of this story?

​

I also encourage you to read the full research paper on race and media coverage.
