I loved the @MacAejmc top papers session yesterday. Such interesting topics from @ayleen_cabas’ news coverage of WAP to @ChelsSalahuddin’s on podcasts & intersectional news praxis to #CarolinaPerez & #BrittanyPotter’s on Latinx broadcast coverage of BLM. Kudos to all! #AEJMC24

I really enjoyed @MacAejmc’s “Lived Experiences of Black Journalists” panel with @DenetraWalker, @iEditNRed, @Noozlady & #BillSingleton. Such great findings & insights. I especially loved @iEditNRed’s inverted pyramid of social media posting strategies. So useful! #AEJMC24
