“Ethnicity Editor: Understanding How Minorities Are Misrepresented in the Media” was a community engagement event that encouraged Pitt-Johnstown students to consider how minorities are negatively portrayed in the news, television, and advertisements. This event was held on Monday, Novemeber 16^th from six to seven in the evening in the Cambria Room of the Student Union at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. This event inspired an audience to think about the global issue of minority misrepresentation in the media is a global issue and allowed them to condense it to a relevant American and local issue. Vira I. Heinz Women in Global Leadership awardees, Eden Cohen, Gabrielle Maylock, and Hayley Welsh presented this issue my sharing their experiences abroad with the audience. The Czech Republic, South Africa, and Australia, had concerning issues of stereotypes and racism in their media. This was narrowed down into an American problem when the three awardees educated the audience on the stereotypes of Blacks, Asians, Latinos, and Muslim that are often reinforced in American media. Cohen, Maylock, and Welsh used sources and examples to prove their point that ethnic groups are negatively portrayed in everyday media. After the audience was informed about on minority misrepresentation in three countries around the world and in the United States, a panel discussion with three Pitt-Johnstown professors began. There were two communication professors and one political science professors who had credible experiences with how minorities are portrayed in the media. Students in the audience were prepared and willing to ask questions to the professors. A discussion about individuals can combat bias in the media lead into a discussion about diversity and racism within the campus community. The formal conversation reinforced that the Pitt-Johnstown campus community faces issues with diversity. After the panel discussion, students were asking to fill out a reflection piece that said, “Now that I am aware of how minorities are misrepresented in the media, I will…” This encouraged audience members to not only be educated, but to take action somehow. Touching upon bias of ethnic minorities in our community engagement event increased student awareness of a global issue in their every day, local environment.
