My research team has posted a new working paper comparing Black newspapers and mainstream newswires in coverage of Black protest events 1994-2020. I posted a blog that gives a graphical summary of main findings and links to the paper. Your perception of Black movement varies depending on source. https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/soc/racepoliticsjustice/2024/05/21/black-protests-of-1990s-and-2000s-in-black-newspapers-vs-mainstream-newswires/ #BlackHistory #Sociology

Here is the link to the working paper. Results are presented in numerical tables, not graphs. Besides issue mix, we look at event characteristics. Newswires are more interested in violent events. #BlackHistory #Sociology https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/tceyu

Big findings: Newswires more interested in violence & White-focused issues including Confederate symbols & White identity groups. Black newspapers cover more worker struggles, local struggles over defunding of public services, schools, community violence issues. #BlackHistory #Sociology
