Lots of good symbolic posts gestures have been shared over the last few days but this is a systemic problem not a one off. How do you change police departments for the better? Well here's the data!
For those who are interested in research-based solutions to stop police violence, here’s what you need to know - based on the facts and data. A thread. (1/x)

🚨 We have a new survey on generative AI and news. How do journalists use (or avoid) G-AI in news? We will share findings in 2024, working with Northwestern and the U of Amsterdam to crunch and analyze the data and write reports and white papers. 👇👇👇research.net/r/AP-Gen-AI

Nearly 2000 land and environmental defenders have been killed since 2012. Today, we're screening their names in New York's Times Square to pay tribute to them. As global leaders gather for the @UN Climate Ambition Summit, we call on governments to #DefendTheDefenders

Community media in New York state has a collectively large audience and covers local issues not on others' radar. If gov agencies want residents to be informed/compliant, why has a measly 2.6% of their ad spend gone to these outlets? See our report here: abi.journalism.cuny.edu/nys-…

Over three years into the pandemic, race & ethnicity data is still missing for many COVID-19 cases, affecting our understanding of the virus's impact on Black & brown communities. How did this happen and why does it matter? 🧵👇🏽bit.ly/42nVqQ6

Try if you can to occasionally poke at or review your own stories, or recall details that didn’t seem relevant at the time. It’s deeply uncomfortable, but it’s an incredibly worthwhile exercise. You realise how threadbare and story based your memory really is.

It’s been 10 years since Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012. New York City and State were forced to consider the climate crisis and its impact on communities left woefully unprepared in coastal neighborhoods. ow.ly/t5uN50LtzoN

Today’s a good day to take @amandaripley’s advice: Don’t fall for conflict entrepreneurs. They don’t want to solve problems, they want to profit from them, and they’ll make your coverage look like it’s doing that too.
