We’re now seeing the impacts of the reality that corporate media, as well as corporate-funded universities, will always side with official power—as they present students sitting quietly in tents in protest of genocide as violent terrorists.
Many people, at the same time, are deeply interested in how different media, telling different stories, can change our understanding of our past, our present and our future.
Joseph Torres is currently senior advisor for reparative policy and programs at the group Free Press, and co-author with Juan Gonzalez of News for All the People.
Writer, musician and communications strategist Collette Watson is with Black River Life.
They both are part of the project Media 2070, which aims to highlight how media can serve as a lever for racial justice, and how that includes changing entrenched media narratives about Black people.
