Samantha Mitchell’s “RSVP” : Incluvie Film Fest
“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”
Race Against Prime Time (1984)
This classic case study in media bias examines how the three network affiliates covered urban unrest in Miami's predominantly African American Liberty Hill neighborhood, following the 1980 acquittal of police officers for the killing of a local resident; how it framed the uprising as "riots," chose the community's "spokespersons" and focused on the inconvenience to white commuters.
