Today on Q with Jian Ghomeshi, Jian interviewed Jennifer Posner (a media critic). I found it quite interesting. It reminded me a great deal of some of my comms classes and although I didn't agree entirely with what she had to say. I don't really feel like stereotypes are so clearly projected, well at least not entirely. I guess you'll have to take a listen and see for yourself.
The reason I pass this along is because so often I feel like we too uncritically think about what we do, consume, and mindlessly accept from popular media. If we demanded intelligent programing, or even just demanded that stereotypes and images that are harmful be removed we could do a world of good.
Enjoy!
