It's amazing that we keep having "reckonings" over discrimination, mysogyny and racism in media yet somehow it ends up resulting in media that could be led by the people discriminated against being shut down and all the problems persisting forever.Permalink On twitter.com

I'm glad that we report on these incidents, but outlets treat what is clearly a systematic discrimination problem across the industry w/the same problematic approach as everything from climate change to the rise of Naz*s: one off events instead of a long term trackable storyPermalink On twitter.com

A while back we used to talk about atoms of media, a future where we could break down stories into tiny components to remix them into all sorts of contexts. The modern web does the first part for us. Everything is in its tiniest context free piece...Permalink On twitter.com

But no one does the mundane work of stitching it all together. There are no timelines that connect each new story to a history of the exact same stuff happening and we don't set up to connect it forward to a future where we track if subjects deliver on their promises.Permalink On twitter.com

You can't cover a systematic problem while pretending every event is a 1 or 2 off. Systematic problems require systems journalism & I dunno how we're going to get it. It does a disservice to these stories to report the incident but not track the promised corrections.On twitter.com

It's not a reckoning when they fire someone. The reckoning starts a year past when they start hiring people to fill those positions that aren't exactly the same type of people as those they fired. A reckoning isn't an upheaval... It's a settlement.Permalink On twitter.com
