Fake Niggas

In order to ensure that cases involving discrimination are presented fairly and accurately in the

media several most important precautions must be taken. There should be no manipulation of

terms, no misleading illustrations and the person being advertised or exploited should give

consent before any airing/printing/recording etc. By making sure that terms are used properly,

anything to describe an individual should be accurate. Often times, the media will improperly

characterize someone in order to exaggerate and appeal to a certain audience; however, this

could lead to false advertisement. For Example, magazines may quote a "source" and add in

terms that did not come from that particular source. In addition to this aspect of false

advertisement is misleading pictures. The media is notorious for altering and photoshopping

images of individuals to make them smaller, lighter, darker, more attractive, less attractive, and

many other misleading depictions. This can easily throw off an audience or reader and cause

one to think of whomever is being illustrated in the wrong way. To avoid all of these inaccurate

advertisements, the indivuidual who is being illustrated, written or reported about should always

be required to give written consent the illustrator, editor, reporter, or whoever. Otherwise, legal

action may be enforced.
