La #742 – Mars 2021 COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE En vente le 4 mars LA "SAGA AFRICA" DE L’ŒIL Avec plus de 1,2 milliard d’habitants, le continent africain est riche d’une formidable énergie créative. À l’occasion de la Saison Africa 2020, le magazine L’Œil a sélectionné 21 artistes à (re)découvrir absolument. Dans ce numéro de mars, il est aussi question d’amour, et même d’érotisme, dans la peinture du XVIIIe et de désamour, celui de la scène culturelle et artistique envers l’ex-président américain Donald Trump. ART CONTEMPORAIN 21 ARTISTES AFRICAINs 21 ARTISTES AFRICAINS À DÉCOUVRIR ABSOLUMENT à suivre! Trop longtemps invisible, la création du continent africain explose aujourd’hui dans une Saison Africa 2020 tristement empêchée par la fermeture des musées. Regrettable, car l’Afrique – plus de 50 États souverains et 20 % de la surface des terres émergées – compte des artistes majeurs de la scène internationale. La rédaction de L’Œil en a sélectionné Mary Sibande, Right Now!, 2015, impression digitale, 101 x 235 cm. © M.

PUB DATE Feb 93 NOTE 24p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Western States Communication Association (Albuquerque, NM, February 12-16, 1993). PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Audience Awareness; Cable Television; *Cultural Differences; Discourse Analysis; Educational Television; Financial Support; Information Sources; *Mass Media Role; Moral Issues; *Political Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Controversial Materials; Media Coverage; *Public Broadcasting Service; *Senate; Socioeconomic Diversity ABSTRACT The meaning of "diversity" was at the core of the U.S. Senate debate of 1991-92 concerning continued Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) funding, a debate that was both reported on and fueled by a parallel discourse on the topic in the popular press. Ideas about the diversity of programming fell into three sub-dimensions:(1) political diversity, along traditional liberal/conservative lines;(2) cultural diversity, in terms of speaker attributes and depictions of minorities; and (3) media outlet diversity, chiefly involving a comparison between programming and cable/commercial programs. Charges of media bias were leveled by both right and left. Some felt that the audience for educational programs (such as those about history, nature, or science) is duplicated on cable stations like A&E. To counter, others pointed out the popularity of PBS children's programs like "Sesame Street"--watched in most Hispanic and African-American households with children, as well as in schools and daycare centers.
