While the report acted as a much ballyhooed wake-up call, the problems it identified have stubbornly persisted, despite the infusion of black and other racial minority journalists into the newsroom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003cb\u003eWithin the Veil, \u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Newkirk unmasks the ways in which race continues to influence reportage, both overtly and covertly. Newkirk charts a series of race-related conflicts at news organizations across the country, illustrating how African American journalists have influenced and been denied influence to the content, presentation, and very nature of news. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through anecdotes culled from interviews with over 100 broadcast and print journalists, Newkirk exposes the trials and triumphs of African American journalists as they struggle in pursuit of more equitable coverage of racial minorities. She illuminates the agonizing dilemmas they face when writing stories critical of blacks, stories which force them to choose between journalistic integrity, their own advancement, and the almost certain enmity of the black community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWithin the Veil\u003c\/b\u003e is a gripping front-line report on the continuing battle to integrate America's newsrooms and news coverage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCompanion website: \u003cb\u003ehttp: \/\/www.nyupress.nyu.edu\/authors\/veil.html\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Newkirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814757995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814757994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2000 pg. 863\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2000","brand":"Pamela Newkirk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44138422108415,"sku":"9780814757994","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32520eab-df2c-48a3-ab4c-068602820dbc.jpg?v=1687899580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/within-the-veil-pamela-newkirk-9780814757994","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
