Manage episode 123212399 series 122279
Is it “journalism” or just “marketing” for journalists to give instant reports from the scene of riots and chaos? Amidst rioting in Baltimore following the funeral of Freddie Gray, an insightful discussion with Professor John Watson from American University School of Communication explores how journalists should report on violent confrontations and social protests. What lessons about such coverage have been learned – or ignored – from situations as recent as Ferguson, Mo., and as distant as 1960s urban violence during the Civil Rights era?
