Teaching Media Literacy through: Stereotypes

This Teaching Media Literacy through Contemporary Issues title explores stereotypes. It establishes the foundations with a section on the what and why of stereotypes. It begins with definitions and then explores the psychology of stereotypes.

The remaining sections deal with the how of stereotypes. They address the question: How do the media contribute to stereotypes in films, TV programmes and the news media? Each section focuses on a specific example of how the media contribute to stereotypes and influence the way we think about ourselves and others. The themes explored include zombie films, children's cartoons, Disney princesses, and superheroes.
