I loved the @MacAejmc top papers session yesterday. Such interesting topics from @ayleen_cabas’ news coverage of WAP to @ChelsSalahuddin’s on podcasts & intersectional news praxis to #CarolinaPerez & #BrittanyPotter’s on Latinx broadcast coverage of BLM. Kudos to all! #AEJMC24

I really enjoyed @MacAejmc’s “Lived Experiences of Black Journalists” panel with @DenetraWalker, @iEditNRed, @Noozlady & #BillSingleton. Such great findings & insights. I especially loved @iEditNRed’s inverted pyramid of social media posting strategies. So useful! #AEJMC24

@BlackDigitalHum @DrAlliRich Thanks! And sounds good 🙂

I'm so happy to see my article with @DrAlliRich published. In it we find that digital Black press outlets dispelled racialized myths by: (1) using Black celebrities as a hook for hard news; (2) removing false information from social media comments
