The visibility of race and media history

Article Abstract:

American popular culture and the mass media have constantly emphasize the oppression experienced by majority groups in their country. Members of these groups, however, have responded whenever they can, by presenting a defiant image to the public. Hard-core traditionalists have been harping about the dire consequences that eliminating racial superiority can bring to society. However, for radical minorities, a reexamination of history is preferable if it is the only way their contribution to society will be fully recognized.

Ecocrisis in Nepal: the role of environmental media

Article Abstract:

Nepal's development policy has come to center on its environmental problems, including deforestation, biodiversity and water concerns. Although press censorship used to keep Nepalese in the dark about the gravity of the environmental problems, an environmental activist message that is now being disseminated through the media is helping communities understand the problem. Nepal's environmental media are responsible for the recent promotion of ecological protection in the country.
