Lisa, I think there is certainly some bias in how the media presents white/black crime suspects, but the Iowa burglaries are a bad example. The presentation in that case is more likely due to laziness on the part of the newspaper than anything else. For the (white) University of Iowa students, their team PR photos are freely available and likely one of the first images that pops up in a web search. On the other hand, it takes a bit more effort to get a mugshot, but that might be the only photo available for someone who doesn't have PR photos sitting online.

It's certainly possible this is an example of racial bias, but I think it's far more likely that it's just a small-town news outlet using whichever pictures are easiest to acquire. I'd bet that if the black suspects had been university of Iowa athletes and the white suspects had been more anonymous people, the photo situation would have been reversed.

Indeed, searching for images related to the word "arrest" on that site reveals that the site uses mugshot photos for virtually all crime suspects, no matter what their race: http://goo.gl/1SRYLN

The methodology of the study conducted by Color of Change seems well designed. I thought because it is an advocacy group it might have been rigged but I found no evidence of that. I don't know what is the reason for the disproportionate coverage and doubt it can be explained by simple racism; however, on one level that doesn't matter. Lisa's primer on neuronal connections is over simplified but not really incorrect. These stations should evaluate why they are disproportionately featuring black crime and unless there is a legitimate news reason, which seems doubtful (more likely the reason has to do with assumptions about marketing drivers and viewership), they should adjust their coverage to achieve better balance or they should continue to be called out.

There is a silly fantasy among Americans that the media--the news--is managed by "journalists" that are engaged in some kind of life mission to keep us fully informed and tell us the truth about what's going on. Now really.

The media exists to sell us beer and pantyhose. They do so by hooking us on fear, extremes and controversy.

Now you know; lets move on..

Not to take away from your argument which is a valid one at the least. It should be noted that these reports were also taken in Iowa where their wrestling program is high respected and cherished by most in the area. Media bias would happen the same way if athletes of another highly respected sport in an area were arrested. Its more than a racial favoritism here its similar to when a celebrity or someone part of a larger respected entity makes a mistake its simply a mistake in their young lives. When its anyone who else who doesn't reach a middle to high ranking status group its a crime and they are a criminal. So interesting, love this blog simple enough for layman's terms and advanced enough to intrigue those who study sociology! Simply phenomenal!

It's funny, I look at media reporting of crime and I see the exact opposite phenomenon.

For example, what if the media reported that there would be practically no murder in New York City if there were no blacks or hispanics there?

http://projects.nytimes.com/crime/homicides/map

That's kind of funny. A cop shoots a black guy that's high on PCP and is holding a knife, and the picture shown of the black guy is him in his high school graduation gown. The picture of the cop is him holding a club with an angry look on his face. I heard about it on the radio, "White cop shoots black male." Of course, the races of the individuals are obviously the most important thing ... when it can benefit the liberal agenda.

Have you heard about Zebulum Lael James, who shot two white women? Funny, he's not on any major news sites, and when he does appear race isn't usually mentioned.

Don't believe this bs. nIggers are murdering white people on mass and the media is giving them cover.

This is basically a positive feedback system; a vicious cycle where police forces have an implicit racial bias that causes them to arrest more people of colour than white people, which leads to more media coverage of people of colour being portrayed as violent and dangerous, which in turn even further perpetuates racial biases, and so on...

If a demographic that accounts for 50% of the city's crime is only 25% of the city's population, are you surprised to find that those who were investigated for crimes and not charged are predominantly from that demographic too? And let's face it: New York is gentrified - just like the safe little town you are reporting from, Occidental College, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, where there is a 1.8 percent black population - so if you are in an area where crimes are commited and one of the suspects in the investigation happens to be from a black area and the crime took place in a black area, does it not follow that any additional suspects will also be blacks?

The second part of your argument, with the magazines, shows two examples of arrests. One says there is an investigation pending and the other says... essentially that charges are pending because there is an investigation. How is that not exactly the same thing? Do you need boilerplate in media to assure you that no nationwide discrimination conspiracy against blacks exists? Or do you insist that there is a conspiracy against blacks because the media used school photos that could easily match the suspect instead of mug shots - when actually, if you think about it, the school photos are more likely to create a stir in the community and shame the individual. Furthermore, you are comparing student athletes to ordinary people who may even be older. Is it not just as likely that there could be a wealth and stature bias? What evidence is there that there is anything other than that?

But you apparently live on assumptions based on your world view. After all, you assume that the "hookup" is part of college life when the reality is, it belongs
ONLY to drunk, liberal women who have no religious bearing, and
incorporate promiscuity with some strange notion of "female liberation"
despite the fact that no male has the liberty which you enjoy in that
game.

That you got a Ph.D when the neurons clearly aren't firing is the only conspiracy going on, dear.

dr kola kolawole of hamilton convicted of numerous images of child pornography on his computer. three months prior to his arrest on this conviction, he was arrested in hamilton ontario for soliciting two girls, ages 13 and 15 and was required to register there as a sex offender.

One big fact you left out.
Blacks only make up 25% of the population in NYC, so the fact that they are committing 51% of the violent crime is pathetic. Also did not mention that blacks are responsible for 67% of all crimes in NYC, per FBI data.
Racial bias, what a joke. Tell me how many daily videos I can pull up of a group of black men attacking ONE white guy, vs the opposite. Try 100 to NONE, but you won't see all those video because they are being buried by the media.
Ridiculous.

The news media used a young photo of Trayvon Martin even though his most recent photo was him holding a gun with a pot plant and money behind him (let's not forget he was bashing a man's head on the concrete when he was shot). Michael Brown was a thug who was assaulting a cop (remember the snitches get stitches graffiti that was sprayed everywhere?)

To begin with, I think that this article is wrong in stating that blacks are picked on when they commit crimes.....The truth of the matter is that there is not enough press given to the extent that blacks are in fact the reasons that our crime rates are so horrible....There are reasons that our prisons are heavily populated with blacks.....there are reasons that they are basically disrespected....Most of the stories that we hear are slanted against the police...Just look at the majority of crimes commited.....It is not white people....When the blacks become decent people, maybe, people who are decent will give them some respect....

Everyone in this country knows what the media does not want it to know, that Blacks make up to 13% of the population, yet they are 40% + of the prison population, this is the Bureau of Justice Statistic (BJS). No other human group has this high percentage of incarceration in proportion to their population.
Acknowledging this fact and not covering it up, is the only way to confront and solve this social problem. By the way, it is the African-American community that are the main crime victims of this criminality.

black Men are responsible for almost 60% of violent crime and murder in the United States period that is unacceptable And so are the excuses being made and the lies being told on their behalf to absolve them of it. america is waking up and is sick if being lied to and manipulated. when the revolution comes - the civil war - we will remember YOU and come for YOU and hold YOU accountable for lying to US. there are 220,000,000 of us =
