- Abstract
-
Robust literature identifies news media’s sordid history of
presenting disparaging depictions of Black identity and its
subsequent influence on non-Black audiences. However, research
addressing Black viewers, their varied group identities, and
protective factors that minimize this influence, has received
limited attention. Accordingly, this study examines the
relationship between Black individuals’ political identities, news
media consumption, critical media literacy skills, and their
collective influence on audiences’ self and group esteem as well
as news media’s perceptions of the group. Results posit a
favorable relationship between variables, specifically, consumption
of news media, increased media literacy, and Black viewers’ esteem - Keywords
