Skimming method is very useful but not something I would depend on if I had to do an analysis. I think go get gist it can be great but don't see any others benefits of it. I think with the active reading it was consuming it a bit more if that makes sense but it takes a lot more time. In the past I've used skimming when i was low on time and it didn't really retain the information because I was already stressed out about getting things done on time. The impact could be good for getting information on situations quicker.

Mrs. Obama was all they heard about, from the mainstream media, their mothers, their communities. I think when one sees a reflection of themselves in such authoritative spaces, they are bound to see beauty and perfection.”
Adding on to this there aren't many black women in authoritative places so when we do see them I think it's more of a mimic what they do out of respect but also out of I wanna be where you are I just don't know how to get there/don't have the resources.

Black women have a long history of molding their beauty regimen to fit the eurocentric status quo, from straightening their hair and using lightening creams to settling for pale and pink cosmetics when the beauty industry fails to provide products for darker skin tones.
We see that black women set to fit the eurocentric status quo and some of the things it entails.

why the writer or speaker communicating.
I think at times there can be more than one purpose in communication. For example, news stations are know to be informative but they do fall into those persuade, analyze, theorize and entertain components too. Adding on to what Sofia said, I think it can be beneficial to show other perspectives especially with topics that are less technical their tends to be a lot of bias. I think it's just important to distinguish the different types of communication or media which may be tricky.
