Abstract
Matched groups of news writing students at three Southern and two non-Southern universities wrote crime stories in which the suspect was or was not identified as a Negro. In all five schools, writers of the “colored” version were significantly more lenient in their evaluation of the guilt of the suspect.Keywords
