Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives

Truth and Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives in Media aims to expand the narrative of Indigenous communities and communities of color in Minnesota media

[ThreeSixty Journalism @ThreeSixtyMN]

A media survey conducted by the @WilderFdtn provides a benchmark of how Minn. journalists are covering racial narratives. The research informed the @truthracial conference and is a starting point for local newsrooms to make big changes. #NarrativeChangeMN

“We have been viewed as thugs, criminals, monsters and even animals,” Individuals with Dreams said in their performance at @TruthRacial conference. The men are really photographers, entrepreneurs, educators, mechanics and storytellers. https://t.co/QGY04WnBwz #NarrativeChangeMN

Did you know you can listen to local radio in Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Ojibwe, Haitian Creole and English? Tune into @KRSMradio on 98.9 FM powered by @pucmn. We profiled the station for our coverage for the @TruthRacial conference. #NarrativeChangeMN https://t.co/XHnLuuinTO

Any other panelists want to hop in on this conversation? @emmacarew @wyche89 @TrahantReports @Maria_Hinojosa @AngelaDavisMPR #NarrativeChangeMN

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

So true! How can we - as the @TruthRacial conference work with you on that? Let’s make this happen. #NarrativeChangeMN

But we also need major funding sources. Too often independent media networks are ignored.

Good question @Metz0071! That wasn’t mentioned. Any thoughts @MPR @MPRnews @nancycassutt @nlebens @MPRsLauraMc

[Macdonald Metzger @Metz0071]

And replace it with...???

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

Media makers need to engage communities as true partners in effecting changing while co-creating practical tools for media professionals to use in assessing their work. #NarrativeChangeMN

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

Representatives from @MPR and @MPRnews are committing to covering stories differently. Specific examples? Taking out the phrase “gang-related” when it comes to crime. #NarrativeChangeMN

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

How can we listen without bias to how community members understand the problems, stakes and solutions in inaccurate narratives about race in MN? #NarrativeChangeMN

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

Communities impacted by problematic or inaccurate narratives about race in the media know what needs to change, so how can media support community solutions to enact that? #NarrativeChangeMN

[Truth & Transformation: Changing Racial Narratives @TruthRacial]

Up next: Participants will gather in story circles to build skills around deep listening as they eavesdrop on diverse and intergenerational group of individuals discussing what change can - and should - look like. #NarrativeChangeMN
