"Monish Bhatia, Scott Poynting and Waqas Tufall deserve applause for producing such a diverse, rich and timely collection. It will prove invaluable to those researching crime and the media, and the social dynamics and structures of racial power and racism. With extraordinary foresight, the book also offers a valuable resource for making sense of today's turbulent world." (Jamie Bennett, Border Criminologies, law.ox.ac.uk, February 5, 2021)
"This book is a good read for journalism students who are of the minority, this can help further knowledge about media's coverage of minorities." (Morgan Jenkins, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 51 (3-4), 2020)
"This powerful collection demonstrates how, in a neoliberal decentralised capitalist economic system, news organisations generate profits through racist, misleading, and often non-factual news, which contributes to the fabrication of moral panics and folk devils. The chapters in this collection are mostly supported by empirical studies and are often theoretically informed, which makes it an essential resource for criminologists exploring the connection between media, crime, and racism." (The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, Vol. 58 (4), 2019)

(Sophia Siddiqui, Race & Class, Vol. 61 (1), July-September, 2019)

This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes).
