The Politics of Black Press Celebrity Journalism Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsLooking at the Stars is a clear and present call, enthusiastically awaiting the response of scholars about how the media has always shaped-and continues to shape-Black public discourse. -Gabriel I. Green, Communication Booknotes Quarterly Excellent. . . . Carrie Teresa shows that the black press played an integral role in the development of celebrity journalism and culture. That alone makes the work significant. But the work also should lead to opening a conversation and spurring robust and critical discussion of historical and contemporary issues of celebrity, race, gender, and representation in the media and society. -Jinx Coleman Broussard, Bart R. Swanson Endowed Memorial Professor and professor of mass communications at Louisiana State University Looking at the Stars is important to media historians and to general readers interested in the history of the African American experience. It will make an important contribution to our understanding of how black newspapers' coverage of celebrities supported and reinforced African Americans and their quest for civil rights. It is particularly accessible because it builds on some history we already know-about Joe Louis and Jesse Owens-but brings in many other relatively unknown athletes and entertainers, all offered with thought-provoking insights. -David R. Davies, professor of mass communication and journalism at the University of Southern Mississippi Excellent. . . .
