An uproar occurred on the campus of the University of Texas when the student newspaper the Daily Texan published a cartoon this past Tuesday relating to the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida. The cartoon shows a woman on a chair that is labeled, “The Media.” She is reading a book to a child with the title, Treyvon Martin and the Case of Yellow Journalism. The woman is quoted as reading, “And then, the big bad white man killed the handsome, sweet, innocent, colored boy.”
The cartoonist no longer works at the student newspaper. The editorial board of the paper issued an apology which can be read here.
