Center for Media at Risk Roundtable: BLM Protests & the Press in Philadelphia

Join Philly journalists Denise Clay (Philadelphia Sunday Sun) and Avi Wolfman-Arent (WHYY) as they share their insights, expertise, and insider stories on covering the weeks of protest that followed the killing of George Floyd. In a conversation moderated by Annenberg Ph.D. candidate Muira McCammon, Clay and Wolfman-Arent will discuss what they experienced on the streets of Philadelphia and how local media outlets document police activity. Wolfman-Arent will speak to his own experiences of arrest and being charged with failure to disperse while covering the protests on May 31, 2020. Clay will share her own observations about longstanding systemic racial inequalities that have plagued Philadelphia’s media landscape and discuss the work of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists’ Media Monitoring Committee.
