ABOUT THIS EVENT:

In one sense, there has been wall-to-wall coverage of the protests against police violence and misconduct since the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop last month. From cable news to local newspapers, there’s been no shortage of write-ups or images. But what’s been missing from this coverage? What well-documented history is often left out? And why? The purpose of this panel discussion is to answer those questions, and in the process to hopefully give reporters in the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism network an idea about what gaps still need to be filled.

RECOMMENDED READING:

Rev. Irene Monroe, who will speak about the media legacy of Stonewall, is a visiting researcher in the Religion and Conflict Transformation Program at Boston University School of Theology and can be heard on the podcast and standing Boston Public Radio segment ALL REV’D UP on WGBH (89.7 FM). We recommend the following columns of hers:

  • Black lives, LGBTQ+ lives, and Pride (Boston Globe)
  • The Stonewall I Remember Wasn’t Just White (Advocate.com)
  • Dis-membering Stonewall (HuffPost)

And here is some background on DigBoston/BINJ coverage of police accountability and recent protests.
