Dr. Danielle Slakoff | Missing, Murdered + The Media
New Series: MISSING, MURDERED + THE MEDIA.
As we explore which came first; the media's projection of who we value as a victim, or our own societal values that media reflects back to us, we continue the conversation around the disparity of coverage for women and girls of color.
Today's guest has extensive first hand knowledge of this reality. Dr. Danielle Slakoff's dissertation was the media's portrayal of women and girls as victims of crime, with a particular focus on how race and ethnicity may impact these portrayals. Dr. Slakoff is an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at Sacramento State, and is frequently called upon by the media to speak about missing white woman syndrome and related topics. You can learn more about her and her work on her website:https://daniellecslakoff.weebly.com/about.html
