Because Almost Every Fatal/Non-Fatal Shooting in Philadelphia Is by a Black Individual, Black Journalists Beg Local News Networks to Stop Reporting Breaking News on Gun Violence


https://dcdirtylaundry.com/because-almo ... -violence/


Because black people commit nearly every fatal/non-fatal shooting in Philadelphia, black journalists and trauma surgeons agree local media shouldn’t report on individual black violence because it hurts black people’s feelings.

Seriously. Here’s something you might not expect to hear from a reporter: stop covering “breaking” news — at least when it comes to crime.

That was one of the most striking takeaways from Friday’s Shift the Narrative panel. Sponsored by the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists, the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting, and Firelight Media, the virtual conversation centered on a question that’s asked a lot in Philly: How can journalists cover gun violence in ways that rebuild community trust — and don’t retraumatize survivors?

Last month, West Philly and Kensington residents told Billy Penn that constant coverage of individual shootings and a climbing homicide rate not only breeds disillusionment, but also ignores grassroots anti-violence efforts.

These blindspots make sense. Eyewitness and Action News broadcast formats emerged in Philadelphia as a way to make news profitable, with an overemphasis on crime that padded network pockets but isolated Black viewers.





In other words;...the facts as reported are counterproductive to the political narrative and disillusioning to the voting cattle we need to follow that narrative,...so lets just not tell them anything and keep them in the dark while we crank up the volume on the political narrative.

Too hard to find ways to solve the problems. Easier to pretend there is no problem.

Maybe one deal their feelings will be so hurt they may just move, and let the animals shoot it out.
