There is not one of us, who does not dread the moment when solitude shall deliver an individual to the tyranny of reflection. The media does not like to use African Americans as anchors or reporters, in the TV news media, because they would rather African Americans appear as criminals, not influential professionals. African Americans are generally always underrepresented in TV news, as journalist, reporters, or anchors.  Yet, European Americans are seen as the authoritative voice of reason, whereas the African Americans are seen as the source of crime and chaos. A news director is an individual at a broadcast station or network or a newspaper who is in charge of the news department. In local news, the news director is typically in charge of the entire news staff, including journalists, news presenters, photographers, copy writers, television producers, and other technical staff. The director also keeps track of how the show is going, as well as talking to the producer to get things going. In the news business, cooperation is a process of mutually inclusive goal attainment (MIGA). Your success is tired directly to the success of other group members. President Benjamin Franklin captured the spirit and logic of cooperation when he reputedly remarked upon the signing of Declaration of Independence, “We must all hang together—or, most assuredly, we shall hang separately.” In a cooperative business, decision outcomes emerge from coping effectively with differences of opinion, personality clashes, and rival alternatives for courses of action.

Group supportiveness, commitment, and interdependence constitute the content themes of cooperative climates. Independently attempting to attain a goal previously unrealized, such as increasing rating, by belittle a huge segment of your viewers, is neither completion nor cooperation. It is, however, often mistakenly referred to as competing with oneself. When you compete with yourself, as some news directors tend to do, you are using your own beliefs, standards, and goals and speaking for the entire team, without consulting them about your program. Not only do you put the reporters in a bad situation with their viewers, but you also upset the audience, and they may start watching a new station. At some point during the newscast, there were stories about horrible crimes. I cannot remember a day when the media has praised an African American man, women, or child? Tonight, I was so disappointed by the program that Ed Chapuis, of Fox40 put together. He demonized three or four prominent African American men, even running stories for a year ago, all at once, to make them seem fresh and as if African American men are a threat. You savages, swine and buffoons need to stop trying to harm people with your selective stereotypes and spotty coverage. Why is it that we never hear any stories about African American men and women doing great things and setting great examples? I am researching the news and sociology, currently.

 The news seems to misrepresent African Americans as criminals, and the misrepresentation promotes stereotyping of African Americans as lawbreakers, which leads to discrimination, prejudice and racism. Part of the negative stereotype about African Americans, in America, is that they are responsible for most crimes that occur, and that crime is a rampant problem in society. As a result, experts and scholars have reported that the conceptualization of portrayals of crime and race, in the news, has contributed to elevated fears of victimization among viewers. A number of recent investigations have concluded that news programs, in particular, often misrepresent crime as a prominent occurrence and African Americans as the perpetrators. These studies of news and culture are concerned because African Americans are much more often associated with criminality, on television and news than any other group in the World. European Americans, on the other hand, tend to occupy beneficial roles like the hot cop, and African Americans get roles as, the hot felon. Usually, tribes tend to demonize their perpetrator, so they die out from lack of trust and lack of resources.

 Also, one of the best roles in the media is a news anchor, they are distinguished reporters, who typically sit behind news desk, and are often credited with providing perspective and credibility to the news.  However, you will notice, in a market like Sacramento, California, we have only two black anchors. One, who works the weekends, and another, who works the mornings, and that is all. One of the Commission’s remedies is that news agencies begin to employ more reporters from diverse backgrounds. The idea is that people, from other cultures, will craft stories that more accurately represented the perspectives of their communities, and this in turn will improve the credibility of TV news among views. As it stands, it seems like many news directors have never met an African American person in their lives, and get their ideas about the culture from the 1970s Blaxploitation films they grew up watching, like Boss N****, The Black Bunch, Deliver us from Evil AKA Joey, Losing Isaiah, and Players Club. Because of this revealing information, research has revealed that little has been done to move us in the direction of truly diverse newsrooms.

 In spite of the newsrooms not being as diverse as the community, there continues to be a strong belief among news media critics that reporters themselves hold a significant, powerful, and beneficial position in TV news. As it stands, 62 percent of all reporters are European American. Less, than 6 percent are African American, 10 percent as Asian, and 22 percent are Hispanic.  Now that you have a better idea of how the news media misrepresents people, we really need to spend more time investigating what is the real purpose of non-cable news? Remember, we are trying to find the truth, educate and improve cultural relationships, but some individuals, in their 40s and over want to keep their culture of Blaxploitation going. Clearly, their mind programs need help, as their software is corrupt; they need to be reeducated and take major culture classes and diversity courses, and also courses on communication to update the software, in their mind programs, and we can move forward to being one unified country and World. Alas, when harassed beyond its bearing, the mind seeks, insensibly, the balm, designed by nature, for its restoration.
