Complete list here: https://lauraportwoodstacer.com/confronting-media-privilege/

This exercise could easily be adapted to consider a range of other representations and identities.

From Laura Portwood-Stacer: “I recently went looking for a list of markers of “media privilege” — something similar to the checklist in Peggy McIntosh’s famous knapsack article, but specifically geared toward media. I didn’t turn up anything right away, so I’m generating a list of my own, to use in my Intro to Media Criticism class later in the semester.”

Keywords: bias, ethnicity, gender, privilege, race, representation
