Journalist Eric Deggans Talks Cable News, The Walking Dead and Black Nerds on the December 10th Left of Black
Journalist Eric Deggans , Television & Media Critic for The Tampa Bay Times, is one of a handful of Black journalists working in such positions at major newspapers in the United States.  From his perch, Deggans has a unique vantage to gauge the role of mainstream corporate media.  Many of those insights are contained in Deggans’s new book Race Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation (Palgrave McMillian).
A long time contributor to National Public Radio and the Huffington Post, Deggans talks with Left of Blackhost and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal, via Skype, about his new book, the dearth of significant Black characters on network and cable television, The Walking Dead and Black Nerds.
