This concept of the “frozen scandal” that Jamie Kalven describes in @invisible.institute annual report was new to me, but pretty well captures the moment
Over the course of a long career as a writer, I have become increasingly skeptical about conventional metrics of journalistic success such as awards received and "impact" in the form of policies changed, misconduct punished, etc. In these economically precarious times for journalism, the tendency of news outlets seeking to stay afloat to overclaim impact is understable. It also obscures the reality that all too often even our best work, however much surface agitation it may cause, does not alter the underlying conditions that give rise to the harms we investigate and report on. What then is rec are safe and at my colleagues an expanding F evidence. We possible audie in dialogue al Moreover, reporting may inadvertently contribute to the maintenance of the status quo by creating the impression that change can readily be achieved through the dissemination of accurate information. Reflecting on how we came to live with the knowledge of torture by the U.S. government in the post-9/11 era, the journalist Mark Danner coined the term "frozen scandal" to evoke the phenomenon of scandals that survive their exposure and, in the process, normalize malign behavior. The variety c investigatior should not single, ong racial ineq That inqu body of systems citizens The early days of the Invisible Institute coincided with the tumultuous period in which police reform emerged as a civic priority following revelations about the police murder of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. In those days, a sense of moral urgency was widely shared. The operative principle was that we are obligated to do what we can today to reduce the probability of harm tomorrow. Some advances in transparency and countability were made, but then the urgency passed, and ublic attention turned elsewhere.
