From Nieman Journalism Lab, "Defund the crime beat": Let's be honest: Crime coverage is terrible.Indeed, it doesn't serve the public to have them knowing what's going on around them.
San Francisco Chief of Police William Scott announced earlier this year he was going to ban publishing most perps mug shots because "research" suggests they create an "illusory correlation" associating "black and brown men" with criminal behavior.
Gannett and other media conglomerates also announced they were going to stop publishing mug shots for the same reason. What the public desperately needs is more cutting-edge journalism about how everything is racist! Thank you, Nieman Journalism Lab!
