1/ [Unresearched, Speculative, Thinking Out Loud] I would like to see (and I'm sure it exists) studies on the number of identities represented in mass media over time. I assume that the number has grown. And I wonder if *increased* prejudice is a natural consequence.
Do you have any recommendations for me? I'm just getting into media studies, as a consequence of my dissertation. It wasnt my focus but the implications were basically: "oh yea duh, I guess media profoundly regulates belief system discovery." Soon, I want to build in that vein.

An interesting space to think about this stuff, or at least a place to begin, might be with the census. When were / are groups recognized officially? Media representations before those moments would be super neat to see.

That's a good idea. "What gets measured gets managed," and what people assume needs management probably is what gets measured...
