1618736474962432001 | since this will come up a lot in media coverage of Tyre Nichols in Memphis: while I get that it seems narratively significant that the officers are black. Statistically, it is unsurprising. In tracking police violence, we never found that race of the officer made much difference | 4704 |
1619145005939167234 | a few thoughts on the videos of Tyre Nichols' killing by Memphis police... | 2226 |
1616854688699412482 | It's been a rough few weeks in terms of media layoffs so I want to flag a job I'm helping hire for: @prisonjourn, which trains incarcerated people as journalists and helps them get published, is hiring a managing editor to run all of its editorial strategy https://t.co/RRsW18QbbU | 1118 |
1618984094309961728 | I’m not sure what the right answer is, but there is something untoward/icky about the spectacle of counting down to the video release like this. | 971 |
1613284903990480896 | The Graying of America’s Prisons: There are more than 160k incarcerated people 55 or older. It was 48k twenty years ago. starting today @prisonjourn is publishing work about what it's like to age in prison written and reported by incarcerated journalists https://t.co/sCzYaOX79U | 930 |
1620131423817457696 | this excellent. worth noting was a zero percent chance of getting something like this published as straight “news” in 2014 or 15. Instead It would have been a piece full of police “experts” explaining how *actually what the cops did was reasonable” https://t.co/7br3IPhuEF | 723 |
1630982803016777753 | it’s chilling and gross for the top editors of the New York Times to threaten to suspend or fire journalists for exercising their First Amendment rights by critiquing coverage. Antithetical to what one would imagine would be core, sacrosanct values: free speech and public debate https://t.co/IQMs3z80oR | 691 |
1616514040498622465 | finishing up my intro to investigative reporting syllabus and I just need to say: not enough people know about the Sun-Times buying and operating a bar in Chicago in 1978, writing the best lede of all time, and then getting shut out of the Pulitzers cause Ben Bradlee was big mad https://t.co/lcVvqP3TEl | 522 |
1620810762225876992 | there is no reasonable standard by which anything Coates has written would be inappropriate for a college level African American studies course https://t.co/5IIsMv3jMe https://t.co/N8VUynKzxr | 448 |
1626226410095525888 | the lede: I’ve spent years reporting on the rise in white racial violence - against immigrants, Muslims, Jews and black Americans - since America elected its first black president. The result, AMERICAN WHITELASH, is out in June. You can preorder it now https://t.co/7GYShx0ykf https://t.co/xKTEheSItK | 328 |
