5 years after George Floyd’s murder: How the media narrative has changed around the killing and the protests that followed
After protests over state violence, news coverage tends to focus on negative stories that can delegitimize dissent. Over time, that often yields to more nuance.

News influencers/content creators have been the talk of the town in journalism lately — buzz that’s been exclusively focused on social.
There’s more to news influencers than social though…

Curious about how TV news coverage of the widespread campus protests and police responses this spring differed from the coverage in the late 1960s? So were we! Overall there were lots of similarities in the structure of the reporting and the images featured 1/

From the ’60s till now, TV news coverage of large-scale university protests doesn’t look so different
While people rely less on TV for their daily news than they used to, it remains influential − and the TV storytelling about student protests against Israel’s war in Gaza and more can shift opinions.

Many media outlets are paying a lot more attention to arrests than to the actual demands of protesters.
US media largely ignored campus protests until encampments (and police clearing of encampments) got going, fitting in with a general pattern, according to @daniellekbrown.bsky.social:

Media coverage of campus protests tends to focus on the spectacle, rather than the substance
Analysis shows news stories on pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US universities spiked when they involved clashes.

I’d offer a solid wtf but it just makes me feel naïve…
5 people are dead after being shot at their Texas home “almost execution style,” police say
The shooter reportedly went to the victims’ home after they asked him to stop his shooting because their baby couldn’t sleep & he told them ’I’ll do what I want to in my front yard’
