“…7 Combining media studies approaches and drawing on qualitative methodologies provides new possibilities for understanding the impact of media on policy and its role in the cultivation of matters of public concern. 8 Moreover, an approach that takes as its subject the way knowledge about a singular idea is produced can denaturalize categories that are often seen as inviolablesuch as "delinquent." Writing any history without interrogating the shifting way in which individual and state actors understood and actively constructed the keywords of their world forecloses our capacity to see policy as a social construct and to begin to comprehend how policy discourses have material effects.…”

This essay draws on media studies methodologies to map the ways in which the Journal of Negro Education (JNE) defined juvenile delinquency both as a legal and social construct and how its contributors and approached the relationship between delinquency and schooling between 1945 and 1975. Situated in the mediatized history of social science and its role in defining issues of public concern, and in historiography that attends to the criminalization of black youth, this essay contends that the shifting meanings of what delinquency symbolized in the pages of JNE and its relationship to race allow us insight into how the liberal democratic state has approached who counts as a citizen, who can be included in the future of the nation, and how schools as total institutions are related to white supremacist notions of discipline and control.

Research on public opinion finds that most Americans support the racial integration of schools in theory. At the same time, however, they tend to oppose specific policies for achieving it. How is it that the American public comes to conceive of school integration as both an abstract idea and a set of concrete policies? Research has shown that one major source of the public’s understanding of complex social issues like school integration are news media organizations and the choices they make in how they cover them—that is, how they frame social issues. This article examines how school integration was framed in the news between 1990 and 2020. It does so with a dataset of over 13,000 articles from 25 newspapers. The article also examines determinants of those frames, asking what contextual factors shape the production of the news. The results reveal three overarching trends in how school integration was covered in the media over time: depoliticization, historicization, and neoliberalization. These trends varied by the political slant of the newspaper, by location (whether it is in a former Jim Crow state), and by whether the newspaper has a national readership. The author discusses implications for research and policy.
