What if “the media” isn’t the problem? What if it’s us? Today’s guest believes the imbalance of media coverage for black women begins with our own broken values.This episode is part 3 of the series, MISSING, MURDERED + THE MEDIA.

Tamar wrote about Lauren Smith Fields’ case and focused specifically on the ways Black TikTok and Twitter elevated Lauren’s story to the public’s consciousness.You can read her article here. <a href="https://prismreports.org/2022/02/11/justice-for-lauren-smith-fields-and-the-black-tiktokers-who-made-sure-we-knew-her-name/" rel="noopener">https://prismreports.org/2022/02/11/justice-for-lauren-smith-fields-and-the-black-tiktokers-who-made-sure-we-knew-her-name/</a>Your can follow Tamar on twitter and below are the articles she references in the interview. <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/media/2020/06/true-crime-podcasts-white-women/" rel="noopener">https://www.motherjones.com/media/2020/06/true-crime-podcasts-white-women/</a><a href="https://prismreports.org/2021/10/01/alive-but-still-not-free/" rel="noopener">https://prismreports.org/2021/10/01/alive-but-still-not-free/</a><a href="https://prismreports.org/2020/07/07/scripted-cop-dramas-paint-a-dangerously-false-picture/" rel="noopener">https://prismreports.org/2020/07/07/scripted-cop-dramas-paint-a-dangerously-false-picture/</a>Join me next week as continue this conversation with journalist Jonquilyn Hill, host of the podcast, Through the Cracks.The podcast promo you heard today is SINISTERHOOD.
