#contentioussky #sociology Updated working paper on mainstream & Black news coverage of Black protests about police in 1990s & 2000s. Mainstream more focused on protester violence & police perspectives; Black news more on systemic critique & movement building. 1/2 osf.io/preprints/so...

I made a starter pack for researchers studying social movements. Who else should I add? All fields are welcome!
