There was a great Commie/Socialist paper in town years ago, the editor died and the heart of the thing died with it. They did a several month break down of our local media's handling of race and the media.

I wish I still had a copy of this issue because it was fine work, sadly the paper was never online.

During a newspaper or television report of a crime, if the perpetrator was black, the odds that report would say the race of the criminal was way higher. The odds of a picture of the perpetrator would appear in the paper or on the news cast was way higher if the criminal was black. A black crime victims picture would appear, or be quoted or interviewed at a much lower rate than a white victim. And it went on and on like that.

I wish that I hadn't lost that issue and that the editor hadn't died, it was a great red rag that served the community well. The local paper of record changed how it reports crime as a result, now it never reports the race of a perpetrator even if the criminal is still at large. It will describe height, weight, cloths and age but won't say shit about race. I think they missed the point.
