Livro reportagem – o negro e a mídia: representatividade e racismo na indústria cultural

Abstract

This work presents a description of the process of preparing the book-report “The Black and Media – Representation and Racism in the Cultural Industry”, as an experimental project for the Course Completion Work (TCC) in journalism, at the Federal University of Alagoas ( UFAL). The objective is to give visibility to the problem of structural racism contained in media productions, be they: films, series, soap operas and children's productions; as well as understanding how black people were and are portrayed by the media. We hope that this work can stimulate the reader's critical vision and contribute to the anti-racist debate, especially in discussions related to representation and the representation of black people in the audiovisual sector.
