If you were a black older adult who disappeared in a rural U. S. domain, chances are you weren’t making much noise in the news: Columbia Journalism Review and an advertising firm took a look at the knowledge to uncover underlying biases. Our weekly NodeXL and our human selection of the most popular knowledge journalism stories on Twitter also check out an app that tracks the companies funding the deniers of the 2020 US election, an investigation of the most recent electoral effects in Brazil, six graphs on the climate emergency measure, and a timeline of the Iran protests.
Defeated American journalist Gwen Ifill once pointed out the bias of the media opposing other people of color in the media politics of needy people, calling it “the syndrome of the lacking white woman. “Columbia Journalism Review partnered with advertising firm TBWAChiatDay to assess the scope of the problem. They used a pattern of 3600 news articles about disappearances in the United States over the course of 11 months in 2021 with knowledge of the country’s National System for Missing and Unidentified Persons, to see what demographic knowledge, such as race, gender, and location: media policy generated. Based on knowledge, they created a tool for readers to see how newsworthy you would be if you disappeared. A young white adult can have 10 times more coverage than a black man.
