This special issue illuminates the ways in which mediaThe current volume explores the effects that media depictions of race and ethnicity have on self-and group-perceptions as well as on intergroup relations. Although many of the studies presented in this issue focus on entertainment television, other media, such as movies, news, and the Internet-based content are examined. Collectively, these articles demonstrate the media's influence in the realm of race and ethnicity, and offer a roadmap for the future; one that recognizes the potential for media to constructively contribute to group identities and intergroup dynamics in society. Where We Have BeenIt is well documented that ethnic minorities were historically excluded from positions of power in media industries, with their voices almost entirely absent

“…Basically, the media assist people in developing schemas (Gorham, 1999;N. D. Hall, 1980;Paek & Shah, 2003); thus, examining the stereotypes journalists convey in their coverage, including political candidates and campaigns, is critical.

“…McGowan and Lindgren (2006) defined it as "the belief that 'Asian Americans, through their hard work, intelligence, and emphasis on education and achievement, have been successful in American society'" (p. 331).

The re/production of Chinese cultural identity is often fraught with contradictions. When China’s Yao Ming was drafted Number 1 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft, he was supposed to reinforce and transcend Chinese/ Asian identity. Yao’s entrance into the NBA signaled a new understanding of Asian identity in the United States. To study this phenomenon, the author examined commentary from television broadcasts of U.S. NBA games featuring a prominent Asian athlete (Yao Ming) using critical discourse analysis. Analysis of 13 games from Yao Ming’s 2nd and 3rd seasons revealed that Yao is linguistically constructed as a panethnic Asian/Chinese person. In addition, the analysis upholds the stereotypes that Asian people are a “model minority” and unfit to play professional sports. Given the dearth of Asian players in the NBA, how do linguistic representations of Yao Ming in game commentary reinforce Asian and Chinese cultural stereotypes or create a new identity of China?
