Media scholar Danielle K. Brown looks at how coverage of George Floyd’s murder 5 years ago tended to focus more on the violence of protestors, and less on the grievances about police violence – and how that has changed. buff.ly/cb5TMF2 @daniellekbrown.bsky.social

Denzel Washington says that Ryan Coogler is currently writing a role for him in the next “Black Panther” film

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/ theconversation.com/from-the-60s...

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.
