Henry Hampton’s award-winning documentary Eyes on the Prize was notable for its reliance on news footage and interviews with civil rights activists. Undergirding the approach was his reliance on a pre-production process called Scholar School where he hosted academics, civil rights activists, and members of the media for intense discussions regarding the civil rights movement. Audio tapes of the media session demonstrate a connection between the development of broadcast news as a credible source of information about the civil rights movement and the movement’s use of the media to obtain national attention for its goals. The narrative uses a constructivist approach to place the details heard on the tapes within the context of civil rights scholarship through the use of interviews and archival materials resulting in a nuanced understanding about the perceptions and role of the media in civil rights coverage.

电视新闻的放大效应：民权报道和对奖项的关注

亨利·汉普顿 (Henry Hampton) 的获奖纪录片《眼中的奖项》(Eyes on the Prize) 因其依赖新闻镜头和对民权活动家的采访而著称。支撑这种方法的是他依赖一个称为学者学校的前期制作过程，在那里他接待了学者、民权活动家和媒体成员，就民权运动进行了激烈的讨论。媒体会议的录音带证明了广播新闻作为民权运动的可靠信息来源的发展与该运动利用媒体为实现其目标而获得全国关注之间的联系。
