We propose a four-level experimental N-type atomic configuration to observe the propagation of a light pulse in a spinning dispersive medium. In this model a fast propagating light pulse is observed in which the polarization states of the light and their transmitted images are rotated in the opposite direction to the spinning medium. We investigate the effects of Doppler broadening and Kerr nonlinearity on fast light propagation in a spinning medium. Doppler broadening and Kerr nonlinearity strongly influence the rotation of the polarization states of the light and images of fast light in a spinning medium. A pulse of group velocity -c/2000.5 ms(-1) is enhanced to -c/80000 ms(-1) due to the the Kerr effect and a significant increase is observed in the rotation of the polarization states of the light and images. At a specific parameter, a 25% fraction change is observed due to the Kerr effect. These results provide different rotation states for image coding.
