CM PRESS # 26


"EMPOWERING WHITE GIRLS"

"Writer *** *******, whose book is a guide for White girls, spoke at Girls Inc. on Monday."
-----------------------------------
The above, with a slight change, was the headline and the first paragraph of a front page article appearing in the Daily Pilot on 12/5. http://www.dailypilot.com/

The slight change we mentioned is that this article wasn't about White girls at all. It was about Latinas.

What do you think? Would the Daily Pilot have run this piece had "White girls" been substituted for "Latinas"?

Or, what if "European-American girls" appeared instead of either of the above? Do you think the Daily Pilot would have run it?

Just asking.
