Here, we have shown the statistics and graphs of how minorities our represented in the Florida Times Union's Cover and Metro sections for a span of a week.

This graph represents the percent of what race and gender that was generally shown the most in the Times-Union in a 7 day period in the cateogory of political/government.

This graph shows the race and gender shown in the 7 day period in regards to the category of sports.

From the numerical data represented by these bar graphs, it is easy to see that White Males are predominately focused on in the paper, except for when focused on crime. And Asian men and women are barely represented at all in any category. The data here does not surprise me at all. These statistics are stereotypical for all races that is already well known. But are they stereotypical because that's how they really are, are because we the public have made them this way?
