Been writing about protest & crappy media coverage for a decade. The headlines and the outrage of day 1/week 1/ month 1 coverage doesn’t change…. Like… ever for status quo challenging human rights protests.

5 years after George Floyd’s murder: How the media narrative has changed around the killing and the protests that followed After protests over state violence, news coverage tends to focus on negative stories that can delegitimize dissent. Over time, that often yields to more nuance.

Media scholar Danielle K. Brown looks at how coverage of George Floyd’s murder 5 years ago tended to focus more on the violence of protestors, and less on the grievances about police violence – and how that has changed. buff.ly/cb5TMF2

News influencers/content creators have been the talk of the town in journalism lately — buzz that’s been exclusively focused on social.
There’s more to news influencers than social though…

From the ’60s till now, TV news coverage of large-scale university protests doesn’t look so different While people rely less on TV for their daily news than they used to, it remains influential − and the TV storytelling about student protests against Israel’s war in Gaza and more can shift opinions.

Curious about how TV news coverage of the widespread campus protests and police responses this spring differed from the coverage in the late 1960s? So were we! Overall there were lots of similarities in the structure of the reporting and the images featured 1/

Media coverage of campus protests tends to focus on the spectacle, rather than the substance Analysis shows news stories on pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US universities spiked when they involved clashes.

Many media outlets are paying a lot more attention to arrests than to the actual demands of protesters.

US media largely ignored campus protests until encampments (and police clearing of encampments) got going, fitting in with a general pattern, according to @daniellekbrown.bsky.social:

it’s WILD imagining what this does to families who can’t afford to post bail for the innocent and otherwise

Shout out to the embedded, engaged, and diligent journalists across media spaces who often do critical work that falls outside dominate trends in national coverage.

This morning, I officially became the first Black woman tenured in the Journalism School at the University of Minnesota, though i have no doubt, this would have been much more difficult without the path paved by Dr. C. Squires.

Black Tech Twitter, trans users and more marginalized groups flock to Bluesky As Twitter becomes more inhospitable to marginalized communities, they hope to shape Bluesky’s culture early — with their voices at the center.

The same press coverage I’ve been calling out for rushing to make headlines and didn’t do their job of accurately reporting? Grateful for the BIPOC reporters who cared though https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/black-tech-twitter-trans-users-marginalized-groups-flock-bluesky-rcna82442
