"We're dealing with a media infrastructure that is overwhelmingly white. 75% of news orgs have no minority represention at all among top editors. People of color are systematically excluded from positions of power." -- @alwaystheself on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"But I want to be clear: adding an editor who's not white does not mean you automatically have anti-racist journalism. Look at the NYT's horrific coverage of Mike Brown during Ferguson. It's important to recognize complicity of people of color." patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"There are journalists of color or white anti-racists who are doing good work in these outlets. Unfortunately their pieces get used to obscure the complicity of these mainstream news outlets in white supremacy." patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
"Just because the NYT happens to publish the work of an anti-racist journalist who we respect, doesn't change the fact that they and other outlets continue to publish overtly racist things." -- @alwaystheself, interviewed in May 2019 patreon.com/posts/crystal-…
