Racial Bias in Media & What You Can Do About It

Talking Brains

This episode I'm joined by Torraine Walker to discuss racial bias in media - specifically the ways in which the media tends to portray white alleged offenders as "innocent" and people of color alleged offenders as "guilty". (Thank you Torraine for describing our discussion so well!) We also talk about what you can do to combat this bias.
