Our new research project has launched! Led by me and supported by @ShaddCaryCentre, we’re working to create Reporting in Black Communities, a first-of-its-kind guide to improve reporting practices. Learn more on how to get involved below.
Journalistic coverage of Black people has historically been negative, affecting Black people’s lives and contributing to negative beliefs about Black people.
What if there was a resource to support more informed and equitable decisions when reporting on Black communities?
Anyone seeing the Red Hot Chilli Peppers at @budweiserstage on Wed or other upcoming shows be very careful when exiting. B/c of closures there’s an extremely tiny exit for 16k+ people to squeeze through. No security or police to guide people. Really dangerous and disappointing.
Trying to slowly get myself back on here, starting with the launch of my first newsletter, which will explain where I’ve been! Each month I’ll be sharing what I’m up to, upcoming events, and life and advice as a writer and educator. Check it out or share: https://t.co/JqyAPL3zcC
