2023 Racial Reporting Convening | Pt. 5: Repairing the Narrative with Solutions Journalism

“Before you introduce someone's challenges, introduce them as a full person. Tell us about their assets and aspirations. They're not an at-risk youth or a justice involved youth, they're a student. You can deal with the problems in the second graph. But let's meet them first, and let's have them associated in our brain with a narrative that is not a threat narrative.” - Here’s how Solutions Journalism can lead to a deeper understanding of communities of color and improve the relationship between journalists and the people they cover. This panel is from 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.
