Too Black for Business: Carlos Watson Defense Team Asks Justice Department to Conduct Racial Bias Investigation of Brooklyn Prosecutors After Revelations They Charge Blacks and Other People of Color in 90 Percent of Cases

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Carlos Watson's defense team, led by Ronald S. Sullivan Jr. of Ronald Sullivan Law, PLLC, today requested the Justice Department undertake a review of the Eastern District of New York office after an investigation found that the white prosecutors pursuing OZY Media founder Carlos Watson charge people of color in 90 percent of their cases.

Key Points:

"The fact that these prosecutors charge people of color in 90 percent of their cases reveals a troubling racial bias against Blacks and other minorities," added Sullivan.
Too often the conduct of black entrepreneurs is criminalized while their white counterparts who engaged in the same conduct are held harmless or lauded for their business acumen.
"And once they see the obvious bias that has targeted people of color, they should dismiss the charges against Carlos Watson."

Buzzfeed News: sad demise of a clever, innovative site that led the way in digital journalism

Retrieved on:

月曜日, 5月 1, 2023

Buzzfeed – for a few years regarded as a top exponent of viral news – has been struggling to maintain its buzz of late.

Key Points:

Buzzfeed – for a few years regarded as a top exponent of viral news – has been struggling to maintain its buzz of late.
The cheeky and provocative – if at times annoying – provider of endless listicles and outrageous clickbait headlines is reported to have fallen into financial difficulties.
This was itself caused by a switch to its users watching and sharing more video on sites like TikTok.
It’s bad news for those involved – and a tragedy for the wider digital news media.

Viral content

Buzzfeed pioneered the use of viral content and helped legitimise the practice as a form of journalism.
The company’s early success – roughly a period between 2012 when it launched Buzzfeed News and early 2919 when it started laying off staff – inspired many other media companies to create viral content of their own.
In the spring of 2013, media companies were desperate to get a piece of the Buzzfeed magic.

Journalistic values

A study by Nanyang Technological University in Singapore found that BuzzFeed News’s news values were broadly similar to those of The New York Times, with both outlets prioritising stories about government and politics.
While the NYT offered more stories about crime and terrorism, Buzzfeed News offered more coverage of social issues and protests.
Indeed, a 2018 study by researchers at the University of Leeds found that Buzzfeed News journalists had the instincts and values of traditional reporters, despite their relative youth and focus on issues relevant people aged 18 to 30.
