2023 Racial Reporting Convening | Pt. 2: Journalism vs. the Vicious Assault on Democracy

American elections have been infected by racism and resentment. How can we equip ourselves to face the new wave of challenges encountering misinformation, lies, and problematic framing? What is our role as journalists in saving democracy and promoting civic engagement? Here is how journalists approach their coverage of the 2024 election cycle and how it impacts people of color. This panel is from The Emancipator's first Racial Reporting Convening held on September 23, 2023, to discuss solutions to mainstream media's persistent insipid and problematic coverage of people of color.
