Media Stereotype

Give a very short basic explanation of what media stereotype is? (Keep it short please!) From your personal experience, what other media stereotype (besides the example from the article) you have seen either on TV or in the movies?

It took awhile to read the entire article, Some parts were a bit hard to understand but it was manageable.

Media stereotype. What does media stereotype mean to me? After reading the article that was provided, It became much clear on how the media can have it's stereotype. For me media stereotype, is like generalizing the characters. It is like a way the character of a certain race, culture or background should be. For example, of how the portray an arabic character, a chinese character or any of the other races.
This is not good in a way as if the audience has not met or know anybody from that particular race, background or culture, they may assume that that is how they are. They might make assumptions that they are as such. For example of how chinese people are stingy and good with money, of how koreans own laundry shops, of how all sundry shops are own by Indians. So therefore, Media stereotype is like brainwashing people into believing something that might not be true in the first place.
