摘要

面向黑人的杂志几十年来一直是黑人社区的主要出版物。《本质》杂志尤其强调以黑人女性为目标，赋予她们权力。《本质》杂志经常在其出版物中涵盖健康问题以及黑人社区讨论的其他热门问题。鉴于《本质》中健康文章的流行，我进行了内容分析，以评估该杂志如何讨论健康、权力和种族之间的关系。研究结果表明，《本质》杂志利用其文化和流行地位，以与文化相关的方式与读者讨论健康问题，从而吸引黑人女性并赋予她们权力。与此同时，鉴于《Essence》的全球平台，该杂志在“易读”的流行杂志和讨论紧迫健康问题的渠道之间走钢丝。

What’s not talked about: a content analysis of health issues in Black-oriented magazines

Black-oriented magazines have been a staple of Black communities for decades. Essence magazine, in particular, places a strong emphasis on targeting and empowering the Black woman. Essence often covers health issues in their publications alongside other popular issues being discussed in Black communities. Given the prevalence of health articles in Essence, I conducted a content analysis to assess how the magazine discusses the relationships between health, power, and race. The findings suggest that Essence magazine leverages its cultural and popular position to engage in discussions about health issues with its readers in culturally relevant ways that engage and empower Black women. At the same time, given Essence’s global platform, the magazine walks a tightrope between being an ‘easy-read’ popular magazine and an outlet that discusses pressing health-related issues.
