This book addresses endemic issues of racism in news media at what is a critical moment in time, as journalists around the world speak out en masse against the prejudice and inequality in the industry. As the events of 2020 – the death of George Floyd, the rise in prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement – have drawn new and focused attention to inequality, white supremacy, and systemic racism, including in the media, this volume chronicles this racial reckoning, revisiting and examining the issues that it has raised. The author analyses media output by racialized and Indigenous journalists, identifying the racial make-up of newsrooms; the dominance of white perspectives in news coverage; interpretations of ethics downplaying systemic racism and bias; ignorance of racist history in editorial decisions and news content; and diversity and inclusion measures. The actions taken by news organizations in response to the reckoning are also detailed and placed in the context of existing race and media scholarship, to offer emerging strategies to address journalism’s longstanding issues with racism in news content and newsrooms. Grounding the interplay between news media and race within this pivotal moment in history, this text will be an important resource for students and scholars of journalism, journalism ethics, sociology, cultural studies, organizational studies, media and communication studies.

Behind the mighty walls of Neffenmark Castle, stands the combined might of the Elven, Human, and Dwarven armies who are ready to fight to the end. With the Spear of Salvation in hand, they have the weapon to defeat the Deceiver, but first, they must face an onslaught of vicious and vile goblins. After wiping out the bulk of the Taran Empire's army, the goblin horde is more than ready to conquer the undermanned defenders of Neffenmark Castle. Standing in their way is Hargon, former Emperor of Taran and powerful magic user. Knowing that his ability to use magic may be their only chance at victory, Queen Elissa and King Illichian put their survival in Hargon's hands. Hundreds of miles away, Princess Nikki and her fabled Sak'Hurai warriors race to join the battle. Their journey takes them onto a battlefield where two armies had recently fought a violent and bloody battle. Unable to avoid involvement in the decades-long war, Princess Nikki must set aside her warrior's instincts and figure out how to navigate the rough waters of politics. At stake is not only the lives of her Sak'Hurai but the opportunity to deliver a force of fighters that could make a difference in the war with the Deceiver.To finally conquer evil, Conner, Glaerion, and the rest of the Champions must find more than the will to survive, they must discover the courage to stand against an insurmountable enemy. Many will be forced to make unimaginable sacrifices. Yet, the struggle to survive will bring them closer together, forging a bond that will be stronger than the evil that is sweeping through the Karmon Mountains. From every corner of the world, Conner has gathered his Champions to fight this last battle. He has survived thus far through his own strength and skill with his swords, but he knows he cannot win this war on his own. His twin swords are formidable weapons, but against an entire army, they alone are worthless. Each race could not stand alone against the Deceiver, but working together as one, bringing unique skills to the battlefield, the diverse races of the world can stand against the ultimate evil. In the end, it will take courage, honor, and the ultimate sacrifice to bring victory.

As forces of darkness strain to gain a foothold in the realm of Man, Conner continues to find himself a central figure in the fight between good and evil. With a sense of duty to protect the world from the ravages of the being known as the Deceiver, Conner must forgo his feelings for Queen Elissa and take the Ark of Life as far from Karmon as possible. Paired with the former emperor of Taran, Conner must retrieve the hidden Ark before an army of Taran centurions reaches his homeland. But standing in his way is a warrior straight out of myth and legend and creatures that could only come from nightmares.Meanwhile, Queen Elissa struggles to maintain a hold of her throne. From manipulative lords to disreputable foreign dignitaries, the queen must carefully navigate the politics and intricacies of royal life. With the realization that the fate of her kingdom may rest with their longtime northern enemy, she must choose not only the course of her kingdom, but also the course of her heart.The small kingdom of Karmon has become the focal point of a coming war where true enemies will be revealed, new friends are discovered, and lives will be changed forever.

After abandoning his dreams of joining the fabled Karmon Knights, Brace Hawkden is drawn into a dangerous quest to protect his kingdom from a mysterious band of mercenaries known as the Bright Order. Having been left unchecked, these dangerous men have established a foothold in an abandoned garrison, bringing terror and death to the simple folk of the kingdom's villages. With Sir Brom and a handful of Karmon Knights at his side, Brace must fight for his life to protect the people of his kingdom from the ruthless Bright Order soldiers.Joining them is Neffenmark, the son of a powerful lord and holder of much of the land around the White Mountains. There is more to the young Neffenmark than meets the eye, as he plants seeds of treason and discord in everyone he meets. Playing all sides against one another, Neffenmark makes the first move in his pursuit of power and control of the kingdom.Sword of the Kingdom is a prequel to the epic series The Champion Chronicles. Join Brace Hawkden as he struggles with courage and honor on his way to becoming the greatest Karmon Knight to ever live.

Now that the Deceiver has gained a foothold on Earth, the war for Humanity rages onward. Dragons, long since lost to myth and legend have made their return to Earth. An army of creatures of darkness has begun to spread their terror across the Kingdom of Karmon. Standing in their way is a small band of survivors led by Sir Marik. Unable to simply hide and survive, the Karmon survivors must gather the strength and courage to bring the fight to the enemy. Even though they are overwhelmed, the dauntless Karmon Knights stand ready to fight to the death. Former Taran Emperor Hargon finds within him a power long lost to Humanity and could be the key to victory if he can keep the power of the Web of Magic from consuming him.Meanwhile, Conner, Elissa, and Glaerion travel to the land of the exiled Elves, hoping to convince the recluse lost race to join them in the war against the Deceiver. For Conner and Elissa, they find more than they bargain for as the pull of fate draws them closer together. Glaerion must set aside his own personal demons to do what is right and convince his people to join in a war that could tear the world apart.The quests set forth to each of them is daunting, but the fate of the world rests solely upon their shoulders. The comfortable life that they each lived no longer exists, but it is the pain and hardship of their new lives that will drive them forward. The continuing saga of The Champion Chronicles follows our heroes as they head toward the inevitable face-to-face confrontation with their greatest adversary. Along the way, they must find trust and faith among themselves, becoming not just survivors, but champions.

The world will never be the same. Armies of evil have devastated the Kingdom of Karmon, ravaging its two cities into uninhabitable ruins. The survivors have made their way to Neffenmark Castle, a nearly impregnable fortress built into the side of the White Mountains. Guarding the castle is Hargon, who uses his newly found magical power to defend against the hordes of goblins who attack with an unceasing vengeance. His power isn't only fueled by his natural abilities to cast spells, but through one half of an ancient artifact called the Ark of Life. The other half of the Ark of Life is held by The Deceiver, an ancient being from another realm who seeks to gain control of the world and turn life into death and darkness. Once he gains control of both halves, The Deceiver's power will be so great, no power on earth could stop him.Half a world away, after skirting the hurricane that separated them from Elissa and rest of the Elven army, Conner and Glaerion come across the fabled Hurai civilization. Hoping to enlist their storied Sak'Hurai warriors to join their fight, Conner and Glaerion instead find themselves on a quest for an ancient weapon called the Spear of Salvation that could help them defeat the Deceiver and his army. With the fate of the world resting on the success of their quest, Conner and Glaerion must face a mysterious enemy and a powerful mythological creature that will test the limits of their strength and courage.Knight Quest, Book Five of the Champions Chronicles, sees the champions scattered about, each fighting their own battles and internal demons. Courage and bravery are in abundance, but it will take more than that to defeat the Deceiver and his army. It will take all races of the earth working together, putting aside long-held beliefs and fears to defeat the evil that threatens their very existence.
