Publication No. 4 Special Issue of Journal and Overview Article Byerly, C., and Lamb, Y.R., eds. 2019. Kerner @ 50: Communication and the Politics of Race in the United States. Special issue of the Howard Journal of Communications. United Kingdom: Taylor & Francis Group. Role: Serving as co-editor in conceiving, developing and editing journal, and a first author on the overview article. Overview article by first author, Lamb, Y.R., and Byerly, C. 2018. Kerner @ 50: Communication and the Politics of Race in the United States. Preliminary online content: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10646175.2018.1442265 Synopsis and Impact: In 1968, following a series of violent urban rebellions, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders released its “Kerner Report” concluding that the United States was “moving toward two societies, one black, one white – separate and unequal.” The “Kerner Commission,” nicknamed for its chairman Governor Otto Kerner of Illinois, laid part of the blame for these rebellions at the feet of the news media for their imbalanced coverage and hiring practices. As a result, the report said, an almost entirely white core of reporters and editors in the nation’s media had failed to report adequately on race relations, particularly omitting the difficulties experienced by those in inner cities. Successive generations of news leaders have tried and failed to reach goals of parity in making mainstream newsrooms reflect the country’s demographics. Some studies show that neither have those media yet been able to adequately cover race matters in a nation experiencing an ongoing “browning of America” and the emergence of a new era of race-related civil unrest and violence. Scholars and media practitioners have submitted both commentaries and scholarly manuscripts...

Publication No. 3 Creative Work: Media Production Title: Dealing With Dementia, November 2014 Principal Investigator: Lamb, Yanick Rice Published by TheRoot.com and the PBS site NextAvenue.org published the project as well as New America Media and FierceforBlackWomen.com, which ran a longer version. Lamb was a year-long John A. Hartford/MetLife Foundation Journalism in Aging & Health Fellow, a project of New America Media and the Gerontological Society of America. She was also an Alzheimer’s Disease Fellow through the National Press Foundation. Synopsis As the 2013 John A. Hartford/MetLife Foundation Journalism in Aging & Health Fellow, I spent a year researching Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia and caregiving. Changes in the brain can cause dementia, severely impairing mental abilities including memory, movement, reasoning and thoughts. African-American women and men are two to three times more likely to develop dementia than white Americans. After extensively interviewing several people with dementia, caregivers and medical experts, I found the perfect family to profile right here in Washington — a single man caring for his 83-year-old mother. He was also a rarity. Only a third of caregivers are men, according to a study by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP. Men are less likely to be the main or only person in this role. They’re less likely to be involved with personal care and more likely to pay for it. In addition to presenting a different face of caregiving, this family helped to illustrated the commonalities that affect everyone as well as the unique attributes of African Americans, who are 65% more likely to be primary caregivers than other groups. Impact/Recognition New America Media, a coalition of 3,000 ethnic news organizations, provided oversight, peer review and editing...

Publication No. 5 Refereed Book Chapter Lamb, Y.R. (2015). “Communication and Consumer Lifestyle Behavior.” The Routledge Handbook of Magazine Research: The Future of the Magazine Form: Research Perspectives and Prospects. Abrahamson, D. and Prior-Miller, M., eds. New York: Peter Lang Publishing. http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9781138854161/ Author(s) Lamb, Yanick Rice Published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group Role I wrote one of 33 peer-reviewed chapters, examining scholarly research on magazines that subscribe to a consumerist philosophy and that are marketed to the general public. Click here to read the manuscript. Application of Theory This chapter examines consumer magazines through a research review and historical analysis. It explores research focusing on the interplay between magazines and consumer lifestyles — how magazines covered and often influenced consumer lifestyles as well as how consumer lifestyles influenced the content in magazines. A common thread in the literature is how readers increasingly came to be viewed and valued as consumers, particularly as potential buyers of the products and services advertised in magazines. In the process, magazines stimulated consumptive behavior by playing to the needs and wants of consumers. These consumer magazines help to create and feed reader appetites for esteem and enjoyment — whether readers aspired to the lifestyles featured in the publications and whether they could afford to obtain or maintain them. Publisher’s Description Scholarly engagement with the magazine form has, in the last two decades, produced a substantial amount of valuable research. Authored by leading academic authorities in the study of magazines, the chapters in The Routledge Handbook of Magazine Research not only create an architecture to organize and archive the developing field of magazine research, but...
