Offering a critical insight into the production, gatekeeping, and consumption of news in contemporary American society, American Otherness in Journalism lays bare embedded cultural beliefs, via mainstream news media, to ask: who gets to be represented as American, and why?
In this book Angie Chuang argues that, ever since the early 20th century, when the idea of "The (Racial) Melting Pot" became popularized, the dominant-culture conceptualization of American identity is such that some residents have always been perceived as more American than others. Combining close textual analysis of high-profile case studies with media theories of false balance, stereotypical selection, default Whiteness, and the protest paradigm, Chuang demonstrates how news media practices have created a cultural context that excludes some Americans from fully belonging to American identity.
