Recent graduates and former PCIM interns Peter Champelli and Tara Eng, with Lauryn Edmondson, created social media infographic “How to Spot Propaganda,” discussing unethical tactics mainstream media use while covering the Black Lives Matter protests.
Sleek visuals deliver tips on media tropes that undermine racial justice protests, warning against framing that sensationalizes violence, glorifies police “solidarity,” and fails to investigate the cause of violence.
The infographic was published through Good News, an art and social action collective that explores “what the news is doing to our society and how activists are building a better future.” Champelli, the WICB team, and Nate Richter created Good News.
