Topic Freewrite

While in the process of doing research on my topic I made the mistake of writing a precis on a book that is about my topic instead of a scholarly article.  This book written by Beulah Ainley in 1998 was called "Black Journalists, White Media".  Now obviously I did not sit down and read the entire book but I was able to read a small portion of it which I believe addressed the purpose of the book.  This book discusses the issue of  race in a media prodominately run by whites and  how the race of a journalist can effect the stories they choose to investigate or write about.  Ainley even gives personal occassions on the subject, "Of the 80 whom I informed I was black only 45 had the courtesy to reply.  Some of those who did not reply went on advertising their vacancies for weeks afterward."
