This week on CounterSpin: There are reasons that so much news media is consumed with crime. Not just any crime, not wage theft, not lethal pollution—but street crime, random, individual crime. It’s a story old as journalism, but it’s still messed up. We’ll talk about that with activist and writer Josmar Trujillo, working now with Copwatch Media, a community-based project that reports on the effects of hyper-policing on communities. Transcript: ‘The Core of Copaganda Is the Symbiotic Relationship Between Press and Police’Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at recent press coverage of inflation, immigration restriction and democracy.
