JEVENTS-PUBLIC

Journalists aim to create and serve a more informed public. But many news outlets perpetuate racist narratives by centering whiteness and not addressing structural inequity in their stories. In this interactive media literacy workshop by RadioActive Youth Media, we’ll discuss the myth of “objectivity” in journalism, rewrite a popular fairy tale, and analyze local news coverage. You’ll leave with five questions you can ask to think critically about any story. 

Presenters: Kelsey Kupferer, Program Producer, RadioActive Youth Media, Lila Shroff, RadioActive Youth Media Outreach Assistant, Essey Paulos, Radioactive Youth Media Outreach Assistant.
