Research Paper | Media Framing and Critical Race Theory: Why White Supremacist Terrorism is Not Seen as a Threat
After the rise of white supremacist terrorist attacks and neo-Nazi groups, observed media coverage that seemed very different from media coverage of Islamic terrorists. Seeing this, I decided to pursue a semester-long research project on the discrepancies and potential explanations as to why they exist.
Using news examples, academic essays and journal articles, and several books, I used the concepts of Critical Race Theory and media framing to analyze this difference in treatment.
