To:


Dear campus community,



On Monday, Feb. 25 from 12:15-1 p.m. in the college theater, WVUP will host
National Public Radio (NPR) television critic Eric Deggans, who will
present, “Building Bridges Instead of Walls: Decoding Media’s Confusing
Coverage of Race and Culture.”  The program is free and open to the public
and will be streamed live to the Jackson County Center in Room 207.



During his presentation, Deggans will explain why he believes media outlets
have fallen short in covering race and culture issues.  He will share tips
on how to recognize when the media practices the politics of division and
how to decode the media’s messages and their motives.



Author of the book, “Race-Baiter,” Deggans will stay for a brief book
signing following the presentation for those who bring their copy of the
book.  (Copies will not be available for purchase at the signing, so check
out the online options for an affordable hardcover copy.)



Don’t miss this unique opportunity!



Sincerely,



Vijay Shah and Debbie Richards, Co-Chairs

WVUP Social Justice Committee
