The media isn't diverse - and this leads to appalling reporting
"Journalism is objective"
Not based on meritocracy or neutrality
Lie
White-people-only club
87% in the US, 94% in Britain
Reward mediocre white journalists > advance good journalists of color
Racially monolithic mainstream press
Ill to cover an non-white world : "objective"
Subjectively reinforcing the ideology of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy (e.g. : humanize Nazis but not a young black men killed by police)
E.g. : Harvey Weinstein
Same ideology
Because of the domination of the patriarchy
Because of the financial power
Because of the cultural power
Unfair treatment
Journalists of color: punished for interrogating their subjectivities
White journalists: rewarded for pretending their subjectivities don't exist
Lewis Wallace, only out transgender national radio reporter
Neutrality is impossible
IT MATTERS who makes editorial decisions
Fact are real, but not priorities and prespectives
Fired!
Real job of journalists: interrogate the world AND the subjectivity
Sarah Schulman: Gentrification = process hiding the apparatus of domination from the dominant themselves
