Peer reviewedLule, Jack – Critical Studies in Mass Communication, 1995
Investigates press coverage of the Mike Tyson rape trial. Considers the entrenchment of racist reporting in the news, and the implication of the press in modern racism. Finds that press portrayals of Mike Tyson drew from just two dehumanizing and opposing archetypes for African Americans: the animal savage and the helpless, hapless victim. (SR)
