At Ricochet, Jon Gabriel published a brilliant “Media Narrative Chart for reporting violent crime”.It's almost as if this article was written for The Onion. Sadly, it may reflect the reality more accurately than one may realize. See the Chart below:
This handy chart helps journalists frame the narrative of each crime, “not to tell the audience what happened, but to expand the event into an indictment of Western culture.” For example, if the attacker is a non-white shooter and the victim is white the narrative is about gun control. If the attacker is non-white and the victim is also “run story about the Kardashians instead.” Go read it, and tell me Gabriel is wrong. I don’t think he is, and I bet this cheat sheet soon is copied into every journalism student’s notebooks.
