Locating Crisis: Representations of Race and Space in the English Media, Montreal, 1987-1992
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the media coverage of police killings of Blacks in Montreal between 1987 and 1992. According to the author, media representation, particularly in The Gazette and on CBC television, framed the events as a "discourse of credibility" between the Black community's insistence that the killings were evidence of police racism, and the police department's denial of the racism charge. The author claims that a January 1992 CBC news feature, titled Black and Blue, played a crucial role in defusing public concern over alleged police racism by effectively "locating the crisis" of police and "race" in Little Burgundy, a "Black" neighbourhood.
