The Minorities and Communication division (MAC) is committed to advancing research, teaching and professional freedom and responsibility scholarship and initiatives that explore the relationship between racial and ethnic minorities and mass communication. Our programming and service center on critical economic, political, legal, ethical, and social issues that define the role racial and ethnic minorities have played, and are playing, in media and mass communication education. As such, MAC also has a pragmatic aim to promote cultural literacy and diversity among academics, professionals, and students, and to heighten knowledge and strengthen skill sets to manage the complexities and respond to the disparities that manifest in a multicultural media landscape.
