OPINION: ENTERTAINMENT / POLITICAL BLEED-THROUGH

Written by STEPHEN PROVIZER Posted August 3, 2020 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

"Massachusetts Votes to End Animal Cruelty" by Svadilfari is licensed under CC BY-ND 2.0

Some might say that the success of bringing the ethic of entertainment into news reporting is its own justification and what’s wrong with that, anyway? I say that while it might be over-drawing the case to say that Ed Ansin’s style of news broadcasting led us to the Trump presidency, there’s no question they dovetail nicely.

BRIDGING THE CHASM BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND JUSTICE: PART 2

Written by BILL SHELTON Posted July 15, 2020 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

The warrior culture and poor use-of-force guidance are at least two reasons why police in the U.S. kill 1,000 people annually, while in contrast, for example, Great Britain’s police have killed fewer than 60 since 1900.

SOLIDARITY BUILDING, COVID-19, AND FRONTLINE WORKERS

Written by JYOTI SINHA Posted July 12, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

The mission of building solidarity within the South Asian community is akin to other movements such as Black Lives Matter. How can we learn from them in order to connect our own community? For many South Asians committed to fighting state violence against Black people, it is clear that our work in being allies relies on undoing anti-Black ideologies within our own communities.
