Under increasingly intense newsroom demands, reporters often find it difficult to cover the complexity of topics that deal with racial and social inequality. This book makes covering inequity manageable by: showing how racially disparate outcomes in health, education, wealth/income, housing, and the criminal justice system are often the result of inequity in opportunity; providing theoretical frameworks for understanding the roots of racial inequity; offering tools to help journalists accurately portray the structural roots of racial inequity; and showcasing best practices and examples of model reporting on disparate outcomes, which will enhance community-based reporting.
